Jeffrey,

You must have used the ssh-host-config script and chosen to install sshd as
a Windows service.  This causes SYSTEM to be the owner of the files since
SYSTEM is typically the user that runs Windows services.  You can look at
the document /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-3.6.1p1-2.README for some more
information on this.
