ffs tries to create folder in windows/system32 for some reason

yesterday i upgraded to 7.0 and created a new batch job after this. the job syncs a folder from "users/myuser/appdata/roaming/someprogram" to "users/myuser/documents". on every run (i created a windows task) i get an error that program fails to create folder c:/windows/system32/job-name.

i am running another similar job that runs without error. this job was created before upgrade to 7.0. So what causes this error why the program wants to create a folder in system32?

thanks in advance

Mysterious. Are you using relative paths or macros somewhere in your config?

no i configured this the same way i didd with my other sync job. i attached the job file. the error has code 5. next time i see it i'll make screenshot. The log of the job does not show the error - all seems working fine.
probably the error is raised by task planer and returned to ffs?

Here you're using a relative path:

`<LogfileFolder Limit="-1">µtorrent-backup</LogfileFolder>`

thanks!
i fixed it in file. Is there a way to set log path in gui? Alternate solution would be to set execution folder in task planer.

For sake of completeness i added screenshot with error. This points also to logging problem because the error occurs after success.

the log file path and other setting are shown when you save as batch
