I had a similar problem running a scheduled task on my SVN server.

My script was writing to what I thought was the current working directory (the directory I specified for the task as the "Start in" folder). If I logged onto the server and ran the script it worked fine. When running as a scheduled job it wouldn't.

In my case, it looked like the scheduler re-assigned the working directory to be the directory specified in the TEMP environment variable for the user account used to run the job, not the directory I specified for the task (the "Start in" folder).

Check the TEMP folder for the account and see if your files are there.
