SVK synk and scheduled task

Question

I'm trying to automate a SVK sync process.
After configuring SVK mirrors, I wrote a batch file with the following

svk sync -a >> svk.log &2>1

then I add a Windows Scheduled task running under my administrative account.

in svk.log I read

The getpwuid function is unimplemented at C:\Programmi\svk\bin\svk line 142.

Any hint?

p.s. I'm able to run svn sync -a from the command line (same user)

When I posted my question, I did not know that

under Windows Scheduler the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH aren't initialized (http://tinyurl.com/9zxbrg8)
The getpwuid function is not available in Windows ports of Perl (http://tinyurl.com/d56a2mv)

Having the above, I modified /bin/svk file by changing

$ENV{HOME} ||= (
    $ENV{HOMEDRIVE} ? catdir(@ENV{qw( HOMEDRIVE HOMEPATH )}) : ''
) || (getpwuid($<))[7];
$ENV{USER} ||= (
    (defined &Win32::LoginName) ? Win32::LoginName() : ''
) || $ENV{USERNAME} || (getpwuid($<))[0];

in

$ENV{HOME} ||= (
    $ENV{HOMEDRIVE} ? catdir(@ENV{qw( HOMEDRIVE HOMEPATH )}) : 
                      ($ENV{USERPROFILE} ? $ENV{USERPROFILE} : '')
);
$ENV{USER} ||= (
    (defined &Win32::LoginName) ? Win32::LoginName() : ''
) || $ENV{USERNAME};

and now I'm able to run my batch calling svk as a Windows scheduled task
