AOFO: Initialization failure on

I keep getting the following error:

AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\Snapshot provider error (0xE000FE29): Authentication failed on connection to the server. Make sure that the user account has the appropriate permissions and that the password was typed correctly.

Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.
Note: Backup Exec did not perform a snapshot of all volumes simultaneously because the option 'Process logical volumes for backup one at a time' was selected as a backup job property.

The error in Event Viewer is:

Sqllib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling IDBInitialize::Initialize. hr = 0x80040e4d. SQLSTATE: 42000, Native Error: 18456
Error state: 1, Severity: 14
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error message: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'.


The database is a SQL Server 2000 MSDE used by a third party application. I do have the password to the sa account for that database. The credentials for the sa account is in Logon Account Management for Backup Exec.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
