Anyone use Robocopy ? got a wierd error

Using Robocopy recently and it's been fine. However the last 2 days the scheduled jobs have failed with the following error :

2007/08/08 19:20:15 ERROR 2 (0x00000002) Getting File System Type of Source \\server\share$\
The system cannot find the file specified.

and then...

2007/08/08 19:20:15 ERROR 2 (0x00000002) Accessing Source Directory \\server\share$\
The system cannot find the file specified.

When I run the file manually it's fine, any ideas ?

are you using a batch file to run this?

If so, what happens when you run it through CMD?

Yup it's a batch file which reads :

Code:

robocopy "\\server1\data$" "\\server2\data$" /MIR /E /PURGE /V /TS /NP /LOG:"c:\robocopy\payroll.txt" /R:10 /W:30

Runs fine when I just run the batch file.

Have you changed the password for the account that the scheduled task was set to run as?

thanks for the reply and nope 100% sure I haven't.

Strange thing is even when I run the scheduled task manually ( right click and run ) it works.
