Unable to run sshd as service in vista home basic

Hello,
I have been unable to start sshd as a service with a Vista Home Basic
installation. It works fine for my Vista Premium install, and several XP
Pro installations. Have you heard of any Vista Home Basic issues? I have
installed cygwin as an administrator and use the supplied
ssh-host-config script.
I receive several different errors, 1062 and 1069 being most common. I
have tried with and without privilege separation. Running sshd -d - d -d
-D indicates that /var/empty must be "owned by root and not group or
world-writable" - as far as I can tell, ssh-host-config should have set
those permissions correctly. Changing them myself with chmod or through
Vista does not seem to fix the problem, although it is entirely possible
that I have the wrong permissions set.
Thanks for any help,
Bing
