Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server

I then took the command to a command prompt locally on the server, and the same error presented itself. Without going into all the other troubleshooting I did to find resolution, the problem ended up being that when using SSMS 2008, somehow there were hidden ascii characters in the command line. I found resolution by simply retyping the command. I then verified that the problem was indeed SSMS 2008 as I used SSMS 2005 to script and recreate the job again, and it worked without problem.

Hope others find this helpful.
