schtasks help

I don't know if this is really a general user question, but I'm having a little trouble with creating a scheduled task from the command line.

My command looks like this:

schtasks /create /ru "System" /d THU /st 16:32:00 /sc WEEKLY /tn FileMove9 /tr "C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Tomcat~1.0\webapps\backup\WEB-INF\batch\run.cmd C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Tomcat~1.0\webapps\backup\WEB-INF\tasks\FileMove9.txt"

The contents of run.cmd are:

cd "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\backup\WEB-INF\classes"

javaw main.FileMove "%~f1"

Now I know what you're thinking. The problem must lie in the main.FileMove class.

However, copying and pasting the line "C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Tomcat~1.0\webapps\backup\WEB-INF\batch\run.cmd C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Tomcat~1.0\webapps\backup\WEB-INF\tasks\FileMove9.txt" onto a command prompt actually runs and generates the desired results.

I'm not sure what the problem could be; I used all the short names of the directories so that there wouldn't need to be any quotes inside (originally I had a lot of problems with quotes).

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

B.J.

As a side note, the task does start; the status field says that the task is running, indefinitely

Upon further examination, the problem seems to be with the "Run As" field. I can create the exact same task, placing my local account and password in, and that works.

I'm using Windows Server 2003. Anyone know why using "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" might not work?
