Task Scheduler Not Working

I'm running 2000 Advanced server and I have an Xcopy Batch file scheduled to run along with a 2000 backup to run to back up all the client data to tape. The tape backup is not running every night and the batch file is not running either. I can run them manually? It's only backing up 130 Mb of data not that much. The service for the Task Scheduler is started. So I'm kinda lost why this is not running. I have the server signed in with Admin. Service Pack 2 is installed. Any sugestions? And I'm kinda lost why my backup to tape is not running correctly.

Try looking at one problem at a time. Either get your XCopy batch file working, or get the Tape Backup working. It could just be that they are trying to do two opposite things at the same time. And are there any errors concerning this in your Event Viewer? Does it say the job completed successfully? And why do you say "I can run them manually?", is that a question? Or are you able to manually execute them and have it work? Basically, is it the scheduling, or is something else screwing up?

I can run both events manually. The bath file works fine and so does the backup. When I do it manually. Now there both scheduled and there not running. I will check the event viewer in a few days. I'm not sure if there is any errors. I'm an idiot that's the 1st place I should have looked. Any other idea's why the Scheduler won't work?
