And where did you find this particular command? Cygrunsrv indeed doesn't
have a -D option -- you probably meant to pass that to sshd (which you
should have done in the "cygrunsrv --install" line, and which
ssh-host-config should do anyway).

You may want to check that this is new. Delete /var/log/sshd.log (you may
need to take ownership of it first), and let the sshd service create it
anew.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ah, well, there's your clue. One of the executables (and remember, DLLs
in Windows are technically executables too) probably doesn't have the
right permissions. I suggest checking:
a) the user mounts for the "SYSTEM" user (there shouldn't be any)
b) the system mounts (they should exist)
c) the permissions on /usr/sbin/sshd and all the DLLs it needs (they
should be executable by all)
d) the permissions on /usr, /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, and all the directories
containing the DLLs that sshd needs (again, should be executable by
all)
If none of the above helps, please try starting sshd from the command line
in a SYSTEM-owned bash shell (search the list archives for "sysbash").
