Did you check? Did adding the key help to fix the problem?

Well.. I'd recommend you to check with the byte copying first.
Also, what it says on the Log On page for the QoS RSVP service in Services UI (services.msc)?
There are some known issues on how to set up the logon security for a service data on XPe.

You can set up the service security and access rights with SCM APIs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/service_security_and_access_rights.asp
(QueryServiceObjectSecurity/SetServiceObjectSecurity, GetNamedSecurityInfo/SetNamedSecurityInfo). Some sample code for you:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/modifying_the_dacl_for_a_service.asp.

Or use sc.exe tool (e.g.,type "sc sdshow RSVP" to see the security descriptor)
