Not sure I understood  all that. I have been attempting to run the 
scheduled task under the one-and-only username that ever accesses this 
box. (That's where the mapped network drives live.) So is it possible 
that re-installing as "Everyone" will fix it?

I've been thoroughly stumped thus far as to why a bash script that runs 
fine from the command prompt misbehaves from task scheduler even tho 
running as the same user.

Thanks,
Michael
