DBBACKUP does not work from scheduler

[dafdba]

I created a script which makes an online backup of a SQL Anywhere 5.5 database on a Windows NT4.0 server. This script runs fine when it's started from the commandline on the server. When I start the script from the scheduler AND nobody is logged on to the server it fails with the error message: Unable to start database engine. The backup command I use is:
dbbackup -c "start=dbclient -x tcp %ENG%;uid=%UID%;pwd=%PWD%;eng=%ENG%;dbn=%DBN%" -o %BACKUP_DIR%\%LOG_FILE% -d -t -x %BACKUP_DIR%

I have the same script running on another server, that one runs fine under all circumstances.

Are there settings on the server which I have to change or do I have to add extra connection parameters ???

Is this script sheduled on another computer than the server ?
In that case, you should use a user that has rights on this server for your sheduled job.

The script is running on the same server as the instance is running
