Rsync -remove-source-files option doesn't transferred the data to mounted disk

I have mounted a windows folder on my local linux machine using mount.cifs command, everything working fine. I have been doing rsync -remove-source-files to transfer files to the mounted share.

Usually after the reboot of my local system the mount will disappear, and my rsync will fail, but today the mount disk was persisted with the link, because of that rsync is keep on transferring to the mounted folder, but the data transferred is not actually reflecting in the destination machine. But it was avaliable/can be seen from the linux machine using ls command on the mounted folder, so i rebooted the windows machine which is my destination and remounted back to my linux machine, the problem is all data that appeared previously is not there anymore. But I am certain that i have seen the transferred file on the mounted folder few mins back. Why this has happened and where does the data/files went, can i recover those ?
