-u system:system is for running as windows service, via cygrunsrv.
be sure to enable permissions for uid/gid 18 (=system) to all needed files.

SYSTEM is the user context in which windows runs services, something 
like the unix root. but setuid(18) will not work.
it must be run through cygrunsrv (as service).
you can also test it via the "sysbash trick".

either the current user has no perms to these files, or rbldnsd tries a 
setuid(0).

chgrp 18 /var/rbldnsd/*
