You went the wrong way in your configuration, or at least the hard way.

Usually you don't need '-e', you just configure syslog.  Really easy,=20
with syslog (part of the inetutils package) is a one liner:

auth.*		/var/log/sshd.log

With syslog-ng you have more control but the configuration is longer.

Install the service following /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README;=20
install syslog or syslog-ng, and configure it to use the file you want=20
and (in syslog-ng case) the format you want.
