ResultCode 2147942405

I am setting up some jobs in the Task Scheduler on one of my application servers (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.)  As I searched for information about this error code I came across a couple of instances where the suspected translation of the error code amounted to "access denied."  In my particular case, this is indeed the problem.  The service account I have specified does not have access to it's working directory structure.  Here are the links I am referring to;

Although I haven't tried it, the third link suggests running the job from the command line which would appear to give a more detailed explanation as to the failure where it might actually cite "access denied." 

I am waiting for my request to grant access to the service account before I make another attempt to execute the job via the scheduler.
