Randall,
An excerpt from "cygrunsrv --help" below
-e, --env <VAR=VALUE> Optional environment strings which are added
to the environment when service is started.
You can add up to 255 environment strings using
the `--env' option.
Note: /bin is always added to $PATH to allow all
started applications to find at least cygwin1.dll.
shows that you shouldn't really need to add c:\cygwin\bin to your system
path (if one uses cygrunsrv, that is). If that is not the case, then it's
a bug in cygrunsrv (or an error in documentation).

Or perhaps you're reading it wrong. I read it as cygrunsrv will stick
these environment variables into the environment of the process that it
starts. Of course starting of cygrunsrv will also require access to
cygwin1.dll and if that is not in your Windows System Environment
Variable PATH (i.e. where the services pick up their environment
variable PATH - before you log in) then cygrunsrv will fail too.
