SMS Application Backup Issue

Question
-
Hello,
we have couple of SMS Application servers in our environment. Recently we migrated from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 and changed SQL Service from "Local System" to our "Service account". When SMS application takes backup from their consol we are getting following error messages and backups are failing.
We cahnged SQL Service account from "Service Account" to "Local System" then backups are running from SMS application console.
Backup Failing Observations:
1)Our Service Account is in Administrator Group
2)Granted permissions in Local Security Policyes
3) Builtin\ Administrator is Available
4) NTAuthority \ System is available
5) Granted Full rights to SQL Folders*** backup database SMS_CHE to DISK = 'E:\_SMFFB.tmp' with INIT SMS_SITE_BACKUP 1/7/2009 6:32:02 PM 840 (0x0348)
