Not necessarily. If the Linux files do not need to be accessed from the windows environment, you could create an image file, format the image as ext3, mount the image file as a loop device, and treat it as a standard ext3 mount point.
Since this is only a movable copy of files from my /home/me directory structure, I can live with loosing the group and needing to reset it if moved back to a ext3 partition.
I will just have to work out the right rsync of cp command to do the bulk movement without all those warnings. SHould only take reading a few man pages for that...
Again thanks.
