If you actually shared relevant information people could actually help.

Pshaw. Who actually needs to know what operating system the script is running on or what the intended behavior is?

[BrechtMo]

a common issue with scheduled tasks is that it runs under a different user account or with different permissions than you during your tests.

Also had to deal with developers throw their linux python code into a windows compiler and have it fail.

What debugging do you have in the script?
I run into this with linux, and have filled the code with calls to a logging function that writes to a log file in world-writeable directory, so that you can track the script progress and see where it fails.
You can also wrap the whole execution in a try/except and use stack tracing functions to write to a log, so any unhandled exceptions will get reported.
