Was this an event that McAfee added when you had it schedule a scan, or
is this an event that you defined independently of McAfee? If you
define the event, I wonder if you are selecting the wrong file for the
command to run. Maybe you are picking the wrong file to run or
specifying the wrong command-line parameters.
http://ts.mcafeehelp.com/displaydoc.asp?docid=401&CategoryId=243 shows
some help on the command line to run a scan.
