Exitcode 6 using PsExec in Windows Service

I am using PsExec to defrag machines remotely on my network. This works fine in my c# code, but because it also does a bunch of other tasks and I want it to run continuously I have converted it into a windows service.

When the code gets to the PsExec portion it exits with the code 6 which seems to mean 'The handle is invalid' I have tried entering a username and password with sufficient privileges without success, I have also tried adding -s to use the system account which did not help either.

Here is the line where I set my PsExec arguements...

psexec.StartInfo.Arguments = @' \' + machine + '/accepteula -s defrag.exe ' + volume + ' -f';


I have also tried...

psexec.StartInfo.Arguments = @' \' + machine + '/accepteula defrag.exe ' + volume + ' -f';
psexec.StartInfo.Arguments = @' \' + machine + '/accepteula defrag.exe ' + volume + '-u myuser -p mypass -f';


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
But nothing seems to fix my problem.
