As a guess, it probably has something to do with the current 
directory or some such. First, add "-i" to the invokation so the 
DOS box hangs around. You might also add "-v" to see where 
Python is importing things from. Finally, you might run a script 
that doesn't do anything except dump info from the sys and os 
modules so you can see what kind of environment the 
scheduler provides to your script.
