I found this blog entry describing a solution.

The solution was the following:

Take a look on your scheduled task on your FCS Server, there is a different configuration between Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. On Windows Server 2008, you have to add the switch "/maxconn:5" at the end of your SystemCenterDTSPackageTask task.

After adding this parameter to the sceduled task it ran without any problems.
