I have a Job that is scheduled to run a DTS package at 6am every morning.
It takes about 8 mins to complete, but the job is still running when I get in, if I don't cancel it, it won't run the following morning (particularly important when there is no one in on Sat/Sun to stop it).
I've checked the log and it says that all steps have been sucessfully completed. I've also checked the current activity and there is nothing still connected to the server.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Does the job complete if you run it manually ?
Does the job try and send any notifications i.e. mail ?

Yes, the job completes if started manually.

There are success and failure e-mails.
The success e-mails get sent and the log says that the failure e-mails havn't been executed (which is what I expect)

We are already on SP2, but I'll give the work around a go

Just to give you an update. The work around seems to have worked.

Well that's good. I wonder if service pack 3 would have worked instead of the work around.
