And you can't use another account for running the cron
daemon since it requires to be SYSTEM.

There's no need to do that since all user rights given to
the Administrators group are a subset of the rights given
to SYSTEM.
Except for direct network drive access you should be able
to connect to other machines using ssh/rsh or so, though.
But you should do that running the cron job under another
account than SYSTEM.

Where did you set that variable? In the system environment?
In the user environment? In cygwin.bat? In /etc/profile?
Elsewhere?
