set CYGWIN=server in cygwin.bat should be enough.
In your bash
$ printenv CYGWIN
should print: server

If you use any service which uses IPC, you must use the recommended -e
"CYGWIN=server" setting. You can look through your cygwin services
(cygrunsrv -L e.g.) and look if some cygwin service requires this
setting (wading though the docs e.g.).
Out of my head I know by hard only sshd (optional) and PostgreSQL
cat
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/sshd/
Parameters/Environment/CYGWIN
=> server
cat
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/PostgreSQL/
Parameters/Environment/CYGWIN
=> server

That is an error.
.sh shell files require a shell syntax, not a MSDOS command syntax.
Try "export CYGWIN=server" in your startupx.sh.
