cygrunsrv executes the controlled program via the execv() system call,
which (AFAIK) doesn't understand win32 batch files. You might try
configuring your service to run cmd.exe as the program and give it the
name of your batch file as an argument, so that cygrunsrv executes
cmd.exe which then runs the batch file.
