Thanks Bob.
Outside DP, if I don't redirect I see on the screen
Sync 2.2: Disk Flusher for Windows 9x/Me/NT/2K/XP

Flushing: D
and if I do redirect, this is in the output file.
Inside DP, there's no output, whether or not I redirect - which makes me think it isn't working.
Running the agent under a higher-level account looks a possibility, but as a workaround I think I'll use a scheduled task (batch-file) to quiesce the db and flush cache to disk, a few minutes before the DP job starts. Opening up the db again works fine in the post-exec script.
Can anyone tell me whether a post-exec script runs if the DP job fails/aborts?
Thanks
