Accessing a DSN through a Sql job

I am trying to execute an SSIS package (which accesses a dbf file through an odbc connection) through a Sql job, but the package log reports an error of "Disk or netowrk error". When I execute the package in the IDE, the package executes fine. When I run the manifest on the DB server, I can execute the package with no errors. But, when I create the job, and try to execute the job, it fails. I thought at first that the user didn't have privileges to the directory that the file existed in, but that isn't the case.

Can anyone shed some light on how to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish? It seems like this would be a common use of SSIS, but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

This seems to be security issue, as your package can execute fine within the IDE, but not through the SQL Agent. I'd check the SQL Agent user account, along with the proxy details on the job.

Thank you for your reply, Deniz.

Do you know of any web sites that I can get more information on setting up the Sql Agent account permissions? I granted that user admin privileges, but still receive the same error.
