Troubles using Cron on Windows 2000 Server

I am having a problem starting cron, and am thinking its because I installed
Cygwin for just me instead of for everyone.
Here's what I am doing:
joey@MARISA /usr/sbin
$ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
joey@MARISA /usr/sbin
$ cygrunsrv -S cron
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
If I try to run cron manually, I get this message:
joey@MARISA /usr/sbin
$ cron
seteuid: Not owner
I don't know if there is a log I can look at to see if there is more
information that I can give. This is on a Windows 2000 server system, build
2195. I have a /etc/group which has the SYSTEM identity which I have not
changed and its in the /etc/passwd as well. I have administrator rights on
this machine as well. Is there anything else I can check? Any ideas are
appreciated!
Thanks,
Joey
