Scheduled Task - States Task Ran - No Results

I have reviewed previous postings about similar issue. I am running with the highest privileges. I have a bat file that runs without errors on the command line. Uses robocopy to back up document directory. The scheduler history states it started, action completed with an error code 16 (don't know what this means) and task successfully completed? But I do not think it is actually executing the bat file.

Just an ordinary error code of 16 decimal is "the directory could not be removed" if that's any help. A google on Windows Error Lookup Tool should find the freebie I'm using.

Whatever the batch file is it might work better if you implement it in AutoIt3 and compile it. To run external executables in AutoIt3 is very easy. It's free, and it has a forum full of programmers if you get stuck.

Then again, neither method handles HRESULT error codes.

Thanks to all! I found an error in the script which I ran multiple times on the command line. However I do have another problem. The script copies my a directory to a network drive. Works OK, however, the top directory I created on the NAS does not show up, only the second level. However, when I delete the content under the top directory I created it shows backup up. Any idea why this is happening?
