Question : SSIS 08 - Manifest Deploy Validation fails, can't access password.

Hi,

I can't seem to get over the hump deploying to SQL 08.  This same package worked fine in 05.  Other posts have similar scenario, but they are not helping me get to the root cause of my problem.

I'm encrypting the package using EncryptAllWithPassword and providing a generic password.  The attachments show that I'm supplying the password during manifest deployment.  When I turn on validation, you can see that the build fails.  Running this package from BIDS executes correctly; however, running from SQL Agent run of the job fails with the error below.

How can I get the deployment to validate with the supplied password?

Error from SQL Agent:
Executed as user: HGNNET\sqlbiagent. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility  Version 10.0.2531.0 for 64-bit  Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005.

Thanks for any help you can lend me.
