dosdev as well as rsyncd must be run in the same user account.
In addition rsyncd should not be startet by cygrunsrv. Also if cygrunsrv
starts rsyncd as the same user as dosdev runs, windows apparently sees
differences between them.
vshadow, on the other hand, can (and must) be started through schtasks in
the user account SYSTEM.

I've didn't try to start rsyncd by schtasks. Maybee that works too.
