Did you setup the Task to run as Local System? If your connection string in your application is using "Integrated Security", it's not going to work because the Local System account probably doesn't have permissions to your database. You should be using a dedicated account for that process to use to login to the SQL Server.

Considering I know nothing about your SQL environment, how the hell should I know??

But, you can find out for yourself by going to http://www.connectionstrings.com.
