Hi Sharon, - I tried adding SAMECONSOLE, and it had no effect. - I had no trouble running: D:\>staf local process start shell command "svn help" wait STDERRTOSTDOUT RETURNSTDOUT
However, when I stopped the STAF Services, and just ran STAFProc from an Administrator command prompt, the check out worked. So, your suggestion that STAF was not running as admin was right. I changed the log on properties of the service, restarted, and the command now works! Thanks for the suggestion!
