Aha! I got it to work when using the regular windows command shell instead of running inside a cygwin rxvt terminal!
When I ran manage.py syncdb in my cygwin shell, there was no output at all. When running in a Windows command shell, I see progress about what it is doing and then it stops and asks for my admin user/pass just like ya'll said it would! Fancy that. I wonder why rxvt/cygwin is an issue? And, now, of course, I can successfully log in as an admin! W00t! I noticed another anomoly that only happens when I run from a cygwin/ rxvt shell: When I start manage.py runserver, it creates two python processes. If I Ctrl-C out of the shell, one of the processes stays active and I have to kill it in the Task Manager. Hmmm. Could these be related issues? I haven't tried any of this with another cygwin shell -- just rxvt.
