why are you using xp_sqlmaint ?
Quote from BOL http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188408.aspx
quote:
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.


Why not just use BACKUP DATABASE instead ?
