The problem is that the path to this folder contains space in it, and it doesn't want to take it. I've tried to put the following:

When I was developing the program, I put the watchpath to this:

And it worked like a charm ... but on the server where the service is going to run, the path contains spaces .. :(

When file paths include spaces you generally have to enclose the whole path in quotes.

So I'd try doing that here though as they're embedded within other quotes, you'll have to use an entity:

"G:\Data\Salg & Logistik\DMR FILEDROP\"" />

EDIT:

It's also just struck me that you'll need to use an entity for the ampersand itself:

"G:\Data\Salg & Logistik\DMR FILEDROP\"" />
