Only /var/log/sshd.log but this really only provides information if
sshd is running.  Worth a check though.

So it appears there's still a permission problem.  Try running sshd
directly yourself now.  You can also run it under strace to see if 
the output points at something interesting (please don't sent the 
entire output of strace to the list though - only send a piece if 
you believe there's something interesting or relevant - if you're
not pretty sure, don't bother).  

As a last resort, you can try adding the other permissions listed in 
'/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README' to your user name and see if 
this helps.  I actually did this first and then backed off these 
permissions once I got it working until I found the minimal set I 
needed but maybe Windows wasn't giving up some privileges I gave,
or at least not without a reboot (which I didn't do).
