Maybe this: (haven't tried)

remove the line 'runasdaemon' from your configs.
write one perl script, that you run as service:
this contains:
------
#!/perl

$path_to_perl='c:\blabla\bin\perl.exe';
$path_to_mrtg='c:\blabla2\bin\mrtg';
$path_to_configfiles='c:\blabla3';

while (1) {
    sleep 300 ; #enter here your delay
    `$path_to_perl  $path_to_mrtg  $path_to_configfiles\\config-file1.cfg`;
    `$path_to_perl  $path_to_mrtg  $path_to_configfiles\\config-file2.cfg`;
    `$path_to_perl  $path_to_mrtg  $path_to_configfiles\\config-file3.cfg`;
    }
