In answer to the last 3 questions.

Yes, local admins definitley.

Have ran it locally on the server, will check the logs for clues.

Stores are all fine, as the exact same script works as the EV user. If script or store settings were wrong then the same script would also fail as the EV user.

Will look for clues in the logs today, however, on screen, it says successful as per the screenshot.

Well, that's odd.

I have made no changes since before, but when I went to do some more work on this today, I noticed that it is now working.

I had already set the permissions (both the EV role and server admin) and the scripts were good, services had been restarted.

The only thing I did last was manually set and unset backup mode to process the .TXT .> .OLD file. That was the last action... since then, it looks like it is working. However, it was NOT working the day after I did this... as this was advised earlier, I tried it, but then running the script as the other user was still not working... however, this was the last action and it is now working, a few days later.

I don't get it, but I am happy it is working at least.

Thanks for your assistance everyone.
