I suspect the problem is that you used quotes in the OBJECTS field in such
a way that it treats those drive specifications as a single specification.
For example:

   define schedule ... objects='"C:\*.* D:\*.* E:\*.*"'

i.e., single quotes surrounding double quotes (or the other way around)

Instead, just do this:

   define schedule ... objects="C:\*.* D:\*.* E:\*.*"

i.e., one set of quotes around everything.

Better yet:

   define schedule ... objects="C: D: E:"

Note: If your intent with the *.* wildcards is to say "all files", then
just use a single *.

*.* = A file name that includes a period. Thus a file like C:\myfiles
\file_a would not be included in this specification because it does not
contain a period.

* = Any file name
