I have established a number of folder pairs between a local disk and a NAS drive and can successfully run a synchronisation manually - both from within SyncToy (ST) and from a DOS window. However, if I schedule ST using the W7 task scheduler the task
is scheduled properly but fails to run. The scheduled task runs under my User ID - the same one I use to run ST manually. The NAS drive is also used successfully by ST 2.0 on a Win XP 32bit machine connected to the same network
I see the following in the History tab in Task Scheduler:

The following is from the ST log:
SYNC: 06/17/2010 16:12:00:480: Starting SyncToyCmd, version 2.1.0.0, built 19-Oct-2009 2:58:16 AM.

I would love some help on this one :-). Other people seem to have ST 2.1 running properly on W7 so I presume I am doing something dumb but what?
Additional piece of information I forgot to include: the "M" drive is the target drive, i.e the NAS drive
