The hints from Vince helped jump start my feeble brain.  Here are my steps 
to install and start rsync on Windows 2000.

This is the working installation for the service:

$ cygrunsrv -I rsyncd -d "RSYNC Daemon" -f "rsync file transfer service" \
   -p /usr/bin/rsync  -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach' \
   -e CYGWIN='binmode tty ntsec' --user=Administrator

Note the --user=Administrator

Before installing the service make sure to have the configuration and 
variable files and paths permissions correct.

1 Delete previous rsyncd.* files from unsuccessful attempts
1.1 /var/run/rsyncd.pid
1.2 /var/run/rsyncd.lock
1.2 /var/log/rsyncd.log
1.3 /var/log/rsyncd.messages
2 chmod +t /tmp
3 Update configuration files
3.2 chown -R Administrator.Administrators /etc/rsyncd.conf
3.1 chown -R Administrator.Administrators /etc/rsyncd.d
3.2 chown -R Administrator.Administrators /etc/rsyncd.d/rsyncd.secrets
3.3 chmod u+rwx,g-rwx,o-rwx /etc/rsync.d
3.4 chmod u+rw,g-rwx,o-rwx /etc/rsync.d/rsyncd.secrets
