Optimizations job failure - SQLServer2000

Hi all,
I created a database maintenance plan with backup + transsactionlog backup+optimizations. The first two jobs work fine but the Optimizations job is failing with error:
sqlmaint.exe failed. SQLSTATE 42000, Error: 22029. The step failed.

User is admin on local box and "sysadmin" in db server role. Any suggestions to resolve this?

Thanks
