Bug was recently filed for that one. It's fixed for Server/SP1.
There's a lot of things that can frag you besides defrag though, so maybe it
was one of them.

Glad it's working for you.. or at least running. If you want to schedule C:
defrags, you can use task scheduler (We have tasks there that are used for
our ScheduledDefrag you could use as a model).
