Synctoy not syncing when run as a scheduled task

[Greg McCutchan]

After downloading Powertoys recently I decide to setup sync toys to sync a few things.


I have 3 pairs setup, they run just find if I manually run synctoy and then "run all" button.


I setup a scheduled task and the syncing does not happen, task scheduler runs it ok (according to the history)


I have this:-

"C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.1\SyncToyCmd.exe" -R


Checking the logs in Synctoy

The folders are there, they work just fine when manually run, so any ideas?
