Near the top of the job log there should be some lines saying it's
running the before job, as well as possibly the outcome from that. Does
it give any indication that there has been a problem running the script
there?
Also, is the database on the same server as the director or a different
one?
"RunBeforeJob" scripts are executed by the Director so if they different
servers you'll need to update it to 'ClientRunBeforeJob' (from memory)
If you can provide the job log from one of these failed jobs to the
list, maybe someone can spot the problem.
