If you don't provide --user to cygrunsrv it runs the service as the system account. You probably need to run it as your regular user account, so that your public keys in $HOME/.ssh/ are found, et cetera. I'm assuming you're using pubkey auth here, as password auth would present a problem for an automated service.
