Try running

cygcheck /usr/sbin/sshd.exe | sed -ne 's,\\,/,g' -e '/cygwin/p' | \
   xargs cygpath -u | xargs echo chmod a+x

(as is, on 2 lines -- just cut-and-paste to your shell).

Also, "chmod a+x /bin".

Try "chmod a+x /var /var/log" and
"chown SYSTEM.SYSTEM /var/log/sshd.log && chmod 644 /var/log/sshd.log"

It's always a good idea to check permissions on anything that might be
used in a program running as service, just to make sure that the SYSTEM
user (which is used to run services, a.k.a. LocalSystem) has appropriate
access.

An aside: one possible useful addition to cygcheck is printing the
permission bits when listing the DLLs in verbose mode...  Any volunteers
to add this functionality?
