Cluster install failing

When installing SQL 2005 on a 2 node cluster, the install fails saying setup
on the remote machine failed, check the task scheduler log. The log on the
remote machine says "Unable to start task...Access is denied". Any idea how
to get around this?
Environment is DL585, Windows 2003 x64 sp1, SQL 2005 x64 Dev Edition
I also need to mention that I have Act as part of the operating system and
log on as a service rights on both nodes.

|||Yes, thank you. The domain account I am using is already a member of the
admin group on both nodes. The error still persists.

But is it the LOCAL ADMIN ACCOUNT not domain admin account?

problem.
I have checked all the obvious problems, like permissions, task
scheduler service running, etc.
I am going to call Microsoft Support tomorrow if I can't figure this
out.
