bpstart_notify.bat account

I setup a script to run the bpstart_notify.bat file prior to a backup.  However the account fails to execute my command because it lacks permissions.  It looks like this batch file is executed by the local system account?  How can i specify an account for this to be executed as like domain\username.

By default, the startup account is set to System. To specify another account, start the Services application in the Control Panel. Then select the NetBackup Client service, click the Startup button, and specify the account.

upon rereading, you "setup a script to run the bpstart_notify.bat file prior to a backup". 
Do you mean that literally?

Netbackup Client will run the bpstart script for you if it's in the netbackup\bin folder.  No need to have another script call it.

I can change this service account, but are there any issues to be aware of?  Does it need specific rights as the account is limited.  I'll try it with tonights backup and see how it goes.
