When using the GUI mode to mirror a networked drive to my local drive, the sync works fine.

When I try to do it in batch mode (through task scheduler), I get the following error:

[4:55:40 PM] Info: Start comparison
[4:55:55 PM] Error: Cannot find folder 'X:\'.
You can ignore this error to consider the folder as empty.
[4:55:55 PM] Fatal Error: Source folder 'X:\' not found.

The computer network drive is running Windows XP, and the computer I use is running Windows 7. Trying various permutations of admin rights, and replacing X:\ with the network path, didn't work.

I then tried changing the batch file to test it with a different networked drive (running Windows 7) and it works fine, which makes me suspect it has something to do with XP.

Any thoughts? It's very annoying that it works fine in GUI mode.

This isn't an FFS issue it's a permissions issue. Be sure that the user you are running as in task scheduler has permissions. Search this forum I know I've seen this issue posted before.
