Right.  And by running it from the command line under your uid, you've created
files under /var with permissions that will keep 'cron' from running as a
service using the sshd_server (which already has the ability to switch user
contexts on W2K3).  Your best bet here is probably to uninstall cron and
reinstall it, using the installation instructions in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README.
