this is new land

for quick error reproducing in dbus as system service environment a nice 
solution is to install a service using cygwin's cygrunsrv using the 
following

cygrunsrv -I dbus-daemon -i --path 
<cygwin-style-path-to-dbus-daemon.exe> --chdir 
<cygwin-style-path-to-dbus-install-root> --args --system --env 
DBUS_VERBOSE=1 --env DBUS_TEST_HOMEDIR=<dbus-keyring-home-path>

yes, see below

EXTERNAL auth does only work with unix domain sockets and will not work 
on windows (this value is a unix default value)

You may try ANONYMOUS or DBUS_:COOKIE_SHA1, the latter may require to 
set DBUS_TEST_HOMEDIR=<dbus-keyring-home-path>

you shoule enable debug info printing for the server and/or the clients 
by running

set DBUS_VERBOSE=1
