Hello,
I am using syslog-ng in cygwin under WinXP.
On my developer pc I have no problems, everything works very fine. But when I copy the cygwin directory
This sounds a lot as if you lost important permission bits, like the right to execute a certain module. Are the two machines standalone machines or running in a AD domain? If the first, you created probably invalid ACLs since the SIDs of the user accounts are different, except for the builtin accounts. This affects especially the local cyg_server default account running the services. It has a different SID on each machine, obviously. Also, if you didn't regenerate the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, the POSIX uid/gid to Windows SID translation is broken (again: Other machine, other SIDs). Bottom line is, don't copy over a Cygwin installation from one machine to another, unless you know exactly what you're doing and how to fix the settings in /etc and elsewhere afterwards.
