Using UNC's (and not drive letters) for the copy? -sc

It's been assigned 'log on as a batch job' permission - that happened when I set up the job, AFAICT. Perhaps I missed some other permission? Just for grins, where's what else I know: The account is a member of Domain Users only. The scheduled task log entry says: "Backup.job" (backup.cmd) 11/4/2009 5:00:00 PM ** ERROR ** Unable to start task. The specific error is: 0x80070005: Access is denied. Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application. But, the log file is a bit wonky - the service doesn't seem to write to it in a structured manner. I had to search for this entry - it's in the middle of the log file, for some reason. On the file server, I've given the account no particular rights, except read-only at the top level of the partition where the files are copied (L:) read-write to the directory in which files are copied (L:\backups) read-only to c:\batchfiles\ and c:\batchfiles\tools for the batchfile and the robocopy executable read-write to c:\batchfiles\logs for writing the log file.
