From what I can tell, all that does is insert and remove registry entries from the services list in Windows. cygrunsrv has a separate command for stopping and starting services, and I'm not sure (without testing it) if removing will actually stop the service as well.
The definitive way to tell if a service is running is to open Settings/ControlPanel/AdministrativeTools/Services and scroll down until you see 'rsyncd' and a status next to it. Right click on it to manually start/stop the service. This definitely works. Re: File::RsyncP, I think that is the most recent version.
