You should never run a service as "Administrator". There is no advantage
to this unless you've added permissions to "Adminstrator" that don't
ordinarily come with Windows or you just prefer having "Administrator"
running your service for some reason.
When you say that you're running 'sshd' as "my cygwin account", how did
you accomplish this? Did you use an altered form of '/bin/ssh-host-config',
did you just start 'sshd' from the command line, or something else?
A review of <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> might help to get the basics
covered.

And you're sure that 'basename' is Cygwin's version?
