Did you in grant "Dan" the "Log on as a service" right as indicated in
the README?
3. Grant the "postgres" user the "Log on as a service" user right:
# cmd /c secpol.msc # [3] [4] [5] [12]
[snip]
[12] On Windows XP Home, there is no built in way to assign user
rights -- use editrights instead:
$ editrights -u postgres -a SeServiceLogonRight

Does the following from the README help?
4. Cygwin PostgreSQL can fail to start or not function properly if
certain files and directories have incorrect permissions. The
following usually solves these kinds of problems:
$ chmod a+rwx /tmp
$ chmod a+rx /usr/bin /usr/bin/*
$ chmod a+rw /var/log # could adversely affect other daemons
