This resolved the issue
net user cron_server <passwd> /add /yes
net localgroup <administrators_group_name> cron_server /add
editrights -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege -u cron_server
editrights -a SeCreateTokenPrivilege -u cron_server
editrights -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege -u cron_server
editrights -a SeServiceLogonRight -u cron_server
mkpasswd -l -u cron_server >> /etc/passwd
For security reasons:
editrights -a SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight -u cron_server
editrights -a SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u cron_server
editrights -a SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight -u cron_server
give "cron_server" permission to write on the "/var/run/cron.pid" and
"/var/log/cron.log"
And then create a cron service using that account:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -u cron_server -w <passwd>

Two simple suggestions:
Upgrade. Cygwin 1.5.5 is now very old. I'd try 1.5.10, or a snapshot.
Have you attached cygcheck output yet? I don't remember seeing it.
