As Chris pointed out, you probably aren't getting the script's directory
right. After all, how can the scheduler guess where you put it? The
obvious answer is to use a full path for the script's filename. Another
alternative is to fill in the current directory in the appropriate field of
the scheduler's entry.
I would prefer setting the current directory, as that allows the
script to find any data files it needs, but either works.
I find it useful to only add batch files to the scheduler. Those batch
files can do any setup and cleanup necessary. In this case, the batch file
might simply set the current directory to the location of the script.
And that is an excellent idea. Definitely recommended.

If it hasn't been mentioned already:
import time
while True:
t1 = time.time()
#your code here
t2 = time.time()
time.sleep( 86400 - (t2 - t1) )
This doesn't take into account leap seconds, but it doesn't depend on a
task scheduler. It is also independent of the time your code takes to
execute.
This is simpler, but it might drift slightly over time.
