I am trying to figure out some permission issues for ArcGIS Server. I have 2 SOC machines that are associated with SOM. I noticed this problem when I added these SOC machines to SOM.
This service that I have published is a GP service.
Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks
Jay

Ok, to start with you will want to have a UNC path setup that you can use to have both of your SOC machines publish to; since the SOM is going to use both. This is where you will want to point your ArcGISOutput and ArcGISJobs folders.
You are going to need to make sure your SOC account has full access between those shared directories so that you can read-write to them.
It also looks like the SOCs are not being able to see where your MXD file is; so you probably need to setup a UNC path for this; and have your SOM connect to that; or you can copy the exact same path to your SOCs (which can be faster loading/processesing since there is reduced network traffic) and have them use a local drive letter.
