This may be miles off, and if so, sorry. But I've seen backup scripts which require a copy to a network mapped drive. Unless you take precautions, network mapped drives are not available until you have logged in. And if you run as a service, you're not normally logged in. You need to explicitly issue a 'net use' command to map the drive.

Does this help?
