Remote Storage Service Hangs W2K Server

The server is a Win2K Sp2 .. usual domain controller type services backing up to a travan drive and NT Backup
If the backup is kicked off manually by double clicking the script it works fine. If the backup is kicked off by the task scheduler I get an error " please add the travan to the free media pool" (not a verbatim quote) even though the tape is obviously there.
After investigating in Event Viewer there seems to be a problem with the Remote Storage Service hanging on startup ... and thereseems to be a lot of instances of it starting .. but none of it stopping.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem other than rebuilding the server??

thanks

Jeff

well i suspect that ur printer pool is full with other queued documents to be backed up. So if this is the situation please clear the que list and then try the schedueled backup process, it should work. Please let me know if it fixed the problem...
