Neither of these rote references have anything to do with this error.
It is a error generated when UPHClean is installed not when it is run.

I figured it out. I had installed the service from a network location. It
defaults to run under the localsystem account which does not have access to
that location.

I moved uphclean to a local folder and all worked.
