Steve,

You can specify the path in cygrunsrv's -e option...  However, note the
marked lines from "cygrunsrv --help":

  -e, --env <VAR=VALUE>     Optional environment strings which are added
                            to the environment when service is started.
                            You can add up to 255 environment strings using
                            the `--env' option.
--->                        Note: /bin is always added to $PATH to allow all
--->                        started applications to find at least cygwin1.dll.

so it looks like you don't even need to do that (/bin and /usr/bin are the
same under Cygwin).
