Jason,
I should have read further before posting my previous question. I did find
the permissions problem and have been able to start ipc-daemon2 as a
service. I am now working on starting up postmaster... I will ask for help
if I run into more trouble.
Regards,
Paul

Does the following from the README help?
2. It is recommended to delete all cygipc temporary files
(/tmp/cygipc* and /tmp/MultiFile*) before starting postmaster under
a different user account. Otherwise, postmaster will fail to start
due to IPC errors. Note cygipc 2.x automatically removes these
files during normal shutdown so this issue has been essentially
obviated.
If not, what does the following indicate?
$ ls -ld /tmp /tmp/cygipc* /tmp/MultiFile*
drwxrwxrwx+ 294 Administ Domain U 438272 Nov 3 14:06 /tmp
-rw-rw-rw- 1 system Administ 3916720 Nov 3 07:01
/tmp/MultiFileMsg2
-rw-rw-rw- 1 system Administ 23568 Nov 3 07:01
/tmp/MultiFileSem2
-rw-rw-rw- 1 system Administ 204304 Nov 3 07:01
/tmp/MultiFileShm2
-rw------- 1 postgres None 1499136 Nov 3 07:02 /tmp/cygipc2_0
