Scheduled Tasks not Starting

Acronis True Image 9.0 Build 2,302 installed on a windows XP SP2 machine. I have two tasks that are scheduled to run on alternating days. They are not kicking off automatically. If I procede to edit the task before I get to 'finish' the task starts up. I am supplying username and password (the currently logged in adminstrative account) for the network share and the task scheduling. The username and password are identical. This is a workgroup and not a domain setup as well.
Any ideas on what to check? It is a bit of hit and miss. I double checked the setup this morning and the task scheduled for yesterday kicked off. I did not change any settings and before I 'finish' editing the task it starts. Now the task scheduled for today is starting like it should.
When it does fail to start I'm not seeing any messages in the log on the appointed time the task should kick off. Is there a sleep issue going on? The machine has a program running constantly on it so the machine should be hibernating or turning off the hard disks.
