Running jobs with SQL Server Agent

this may be a really basic question . . . but I am trying to run an SSIS package as a job.  The package won't run and the error message I get on step 1 is:

Executed as user: SERVERNAME\SYSTEM. The package could not be loaded. The step failed.

The job owner is my Windows login on the server, but even if I change the job owner to SYSTEM it won't run.

I'm assuming it is a user credentials problem, is that a correct assumption

Thanks for any help.

    Your assumption is probably correct.
    The account under which SQL Server,  Sql Server Integration Service, and SQL Agent are running might be different. If yes, try to make them "same as the job owner" as first attempt. If this works, then you can be sure that it was credential issue and nothing else (like locating the package).
