VB.NET 2003 App and "Scheduled Tasks"

Hello everyone,  I'm hoping this is simple and someone will know what my problem is.  I have an application that I wrote that basically pulls all the users/groups in active directory and syncs a database app. we have.  The application has two modes, interactive and automatic.  The form is shown in both except in auto mode the form opens, processes, and then closes.  

Now this app. works fine when run in the debugger.  It also works fine when run in either mode (auto/interactive) when run by a use with sufficient privs.  It seemed to be working fine so we decided to schedule the task to run nightly in automatic mode.  The app is scheduled to run under a domain admin account so it isn't a priv thing.  The task just continues to say running in the scheduled tasks.  If you check Task Manager the app process is running under the correct user BUT the memory usage is almost nothing.  When the app is launched and sitting idle (in interactive mode) it should use approximately 30mb.  Instead the scheduled task is only using between 6-8mb.  Not only that the app does extensive logging while it is running but when run from the scheduled task does not log anything.  From what it looks like the app is launching but is not running.  If we log into the server under the account it is scheduled to run under and run the scheduled tasks it then does what it should.  (Open, process, and close)  But if you log into the server as a different user and run the scheduled task the same thing happens.  Am I missing something?  Do I need to add some code to accomodate the application running under a scheduled task as a different user?  Any thoughts are appreciated.
