Yep. Logging on as administrator does not give the scheduler
administration rights. If you look in your services for the scheduler
and select thr startup button you will see that you can change the
logon, and thus permissions of the scheduler.
The default logon is 'system' -which is stuff all! This means if you
have any security on the files you wish to use the scheduler can't
access them. Change the logon to your admin account and all should be
Okay.

Subject: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: "AT" on NT
Hi folks,
Slighty off-offtopic but we're trying to run one of our utilities at a
specified time. I've struggled with the NT Scheduler and "AT" in
the past without success, I so thought I'd beg assistance this
time around.
The scheduler service is running, I am logged in as an
administrator and issue this command:
at 17:07 "c:\pool\fixlog.exe c:\test"
It appears in the job list as expected (and if the command is run
directly it works as expected).
When 17:07 rolls around, some disk activity takes place, but the
program definitely does not successfully run. We've tried
alternatives like:
at 17:08 "c:\winnt\system32\command /c dir >c:\output"
...but nothing happens the either -- no output file is created.
Does anybody notice what I am missing, perchance?
