NW 7.5.2, Win2003 (server), Win2008 R2 (client).

I am trying to run a client backup that requires a pre-save command to 
stop a database, and a post command to start the database services. Not 
unusual, right?

I created a file "Special Jobs Run.res" on my client's res folder folder. 
Put this in there:

type: savepnpc;
precmd: "C:\\PHA_Scripts\\SuspendSourceOne.CMD";
pstcmd: "C:\\PHA_Scripts\\ResumeSourceOne.CMD";
timeout: "12:00:00";
abort precmd with group: No;

And the file "C:\PHA_Scripts\SuspendSourceOne.CMD" says:

ECHO "Job start - %DATE% %TIME%" >>"C:\PHA_Scripts\logs\Suspend.log"
ECHO "Stopping Archive %TIME%" >>"C:\PHA_Scripts\logs\Suspend.log"
Cscript C:\PHA_Scripts\ES1_NativeArchiveSuspend.vbs
ECHO "Stopping Activity %TIME%" >>"C:\PHA_Scripts\logs\Suspend.log"
Cscript C:\PHA_Scripts\ES1_ActivitySuspend.vbs

However, when running the job, the server reports:

1 retry attempted
32476:savepnpc: Unable to run preclntsave for group Special Job Runs 
successfully, see savepnpc.log for possible causes.

That log (on the client) says:
12/10/2010 1:53:57 PM preclntsave: Starting up the precmds.
12/10/2010 1:53:57 PM preclntsave: No commands specified to be run.
12/10/2010 1:54:03 PM preclntsave: Starting up the precmds.
12/10/2010 1:54:03 PM preclntsave: No commands specified to be run.


And I have no idea why it thinks there are no commands specified to run, 
since I clearly have "precmd: "C:\\PHA_Scripts\\SuspendSourceOne.CMD";" in 
the res file of the group on the client. And it uses 2 slashes, as the 
delimiters, as the Admin Guide requires. And I have explicitly specified 
execution paths, since these types of jobs don't inherit environments (I 
think I remembered that right). And the "SuspendSourceOne.CMD" script 
works perfectly from a normal command prompt. But it never seems to 
execute when Networker runs the job.

What am I doing wrong here?
