What Corinna said, but since it sounds like you are *trying* to use official Cygwin but being thwarted by BackupPC's bundle, I thought I'd suggest a few things. Potentially, anything using the cygwin1.dll could be creating the keys. Try removing *all* copies of the DLL, removing the keys, rebooting, and see if you get and "failed to find required DLL" popups. If not, they are being re-created by some custom piece of BackupPC.
