Right click the job in EM and check the see the job history for the error. I doubt that it may be because of Owner assigned to the job.

Don't sit back because of failure. It will come back to check if you still available. -- Binu

"dbcc shrinkfile (@DBFILE)......log file of DB"

As an aside ... its almost always a bad idea to SHRINK the database / log file, particularly on a scheduled basis
