The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (OTO\zz888si) of job
DB Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'Test Maintenance Plan' has server
access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user
'OTO\zz888si'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).

I am on an NT 4.0 network running SQL 7.0 SP3 and SQL 2000 SP2 on Win 2000 Adv Servers adn backing up to the Disk Drive on the server. I am a member of Sysadmin and a Domain Admin.

Any assistance you could give me would be greatly appreciated."

set the job owner to sa - this will prevent the error.

Can't remember the KB article put there are problems with the PAI used to determine if the job owner has access to SQL when its an NT user. It can also indicate network problems contacting a domain controller.
