You are executing this command on the command-line? Or from an Ant-task? If
you execute it from the command-line are you sure VSS will access the
correct database? (Is there more than database, one without the user you
mentioned?). Generally I would say VSS is correct in telling you there is no
such user and you are maybe using a wrong database.

>From MSDS Online: "Setting the SSDIR environment variable tells VSS where to
find the SRCSAFE.INI file for the VSS server installation to which you want
to connect. Do this by typing the following at the MS-DOS prompt:
set ssdir=\\server\share\vss
Where \\server\share\vss is the folder where the srcsafe.ini file is
located."
Hope this helps
