Rsync in cygwin as service --bwlimit=Ignored

[Berowne Hlavaty]

I am running Rsync as a service under windows2000
 
The --bwlimit option causes cygrunsrv service to fail if included during
setup of the service:
 
$ cygrunsrv -I "RSYNC" -p /usr/bin/rsync.exe -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf
--daemon --bwlimit=64'
 
$ cygrunsrv -S rsync
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
 
But without the option it works:
$ cygrunsrv -I "RSYNC" -p /usr/bin/rsync.exe -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf
--daemon --no-detach'
$ cygrunsrv -S rsync
$ cygrunsrv -Q rsync
Service rsync exists
Type                : Own Process
Current State       : Running
Controls Accepted   : Accept Stop
 
Also, the --bwlimit option seems to be ignored under windows.
