Hello bkg,
I have not personally seen this error, but it may be a problem with the ScriptFileDirectory settings for your DTS package. Please ensure that your ScriptFileDirectory for your DTS exists and is accessible to the account that your SQL Server Agent service is running under.
You can find the ScriptFileDirectory value by doing this:
- Open up SQL Server Management Studio
- Connect to your server
- Navigate to Management->Legacy->Data Transformation Services
- Right-click on 'Microsoft Forefront Client Security' and choose 'Open'
- Click the 'Package' menu and choose 'Properties'
- Navigate to the 'Global Variables' tab and see what value is set for 'ScriptFileDirectory'.
Once you have this value, ensure that the directory exists and the zzSQLSvc account has write access to this directory.
Hope this helps!

This in conjunction with giving the sql service account greater rights to the folder took care of the problem (per Shain).
Thanks,

No joy for me I'm afraid... the 14 day report has failed to run for the past x amount of days displaying no data.
I have exactly the same errors as listed here: If I try and run the DtsSchedule manually, I can see the DTSWarehouse running as a process for literally 5 seconds - then it stops. After this point, I check the History of the Scheduled task, and all processes have completed ok. Its' only at 1am ish that I get the event in Windows Logs ...
Today I have also reduced the data retention period on all tables to 300 days ?(I did notice that the Onepoint DB dropped about 6gb in size as it was 34 then down to 28 ... I know this has a 30gb limit)
Can I clarify that the SQL account that needs access to the ScriptFile directory is the SVC account that runs the DTS job ... in this case its the default for me svc_das_xxx
Please help - it's driving me mad and I am spending soooo much time trying to fix it!!! If there is any other info I need to supply, please let me know.
Many thanks.
