Scheduled NT - Backup Not Working

Problem with NT-Backup in Win 2003 Standard Edition. Performing a manual
backup on 4mm DDS tape works OK, but if a backup is scheduled, the backup
fails and the log states: "Cannot locate the specified media or backup
device. This backup operation will terminate." Opening up "scheduled tasks"
in "control panel" doesn't reveal any obvious problems: the path shown is as
follows:

"@C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\System State.bks" /n "Media created
8/2/2007 at 5:13 PM" /d "Set created 8/2/2007 at 5:17 PM" /v:yes /r:yes
/rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j "System State" /l:s /p "4mm DDS"

In "services" both "removable storage" and "task schedular" are started and
set at automatic. What could be the problem?

who is backing up?
has a password been set on the scheduled task?

I'm doing the backup and there is no password set on the scheduled task. All
I can think about it the parameters...

pretty sure you need a password to do this.
right click the task > properties > set password.
