Andrew,
I did fail to mention that once I decided to grab additional .dlls from the
install, that I copied over the corresponding updates to the original files
mentioned, to no avail.
But your idea inspired me to try running the rsync that I installed in the
rsyncd directory in an administrator command line, and lo and behold, it gave
me an error message with a new missing .dll to get! Once I got that one and
dropped it in the rsyncd folder, I tried running it on the command line again,
and it gave me the rsync help menu. Once that worked, I tried starting the
service again, and it succeeded! Woo hoo! :)
For the record (for anyone else that might be doing the same that I am doing),
these are all the files required by rsync to run as a service in windows 8:
-cygiconv-2.dll
-cygintl-8.dll
-cygpopt-0.dll
-cygrunsrv.exe
-cygwin1.dll
-rsync.exe
-rsyncd.conf
Thanks,
--Mark

Could it be that your rsyncd.exe was compiled against different versions of
those libraries? Since you've already created a full Cygwin installation, I
suggest starting by trying run the rsyncd that's in that. If that works, then
you can go back to trying to extract just the pieces you need into a separate
directory (or not).
