We had the same problem, at least we got the same error message, and had the same behavior. We had a scheduled task running just great, then the changed the security setting of the site to Windows challenge/response in the IE Server. The task stopped working. But when I run it directly it worked fine, because I was logged in and authenticated. But CF couldn't because it could not handle the IE windows response/response setting. I changed the security setting on the template the scheduled task was trying to run to allow anomalous (I could careless if anybody run this file, all it does is check the availability of database servers, and if they aren't available send an error message to the developers). From then on, no problems.
Don't forget to check the IE security settings of the site, the directory and the file. It can be set at any of these levels, and unless overridden at a lower level, all sub-entities will have the selected security. That's what did it to us any way.
