I don't think it's failing. It simply runs in the background. Check with 
a 'ps' from the cygwin shell window. bbackupd should be there.

Also, you can look in /var/log on the 'cygwin drive'. There should be a 
'box' file. If anything is going wrong, you'll see some evidence there 
(hopefully).

I also submitted some scripts to get the cygwin stuff to run as a 
service. They should be in the 'contrib/cygwin' directory in the tarball.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
