Dave,

It isn't necessary to run the service as an administrator to access the
local drive.

What usually happens is that the administrator removes the "everyone"
group from NTFS permissions as part of their security setup.  If that is
done, you must add the "system" account from the local SAM back into the
NTFS permissions.  If you're running a domain, you'll have to select the
local security context to see that account.
Once that is done, any service running as Local System can access the
drive / folder / file.

Sias,

You were right. Thanks!

The scheduler service was logging in as "Local System account." I thought
that account automatically had permissions to the file system, but
apparently not. Yesterday I gave the local "System" group full control of
the drive that wasn't backing up and last night the drive got backed up.
It
probably doesn't need full control but I thought I'd try that to start.
