You're not starting sshd as a service. You're not going to have allot of luck starting it from the command line. If you're looking for debug output, you need to install sshd under a different name (than "sshd") and pass it the "-d" flag. See the "cygrunsrv -I" command in /bin/ssh-host-config for information on how sshd has been installed for you as a service. Copy it with changes for the service name (sshd) and passing it the debug flag "-d".
FYI, SYSTEM ~= root.
