The server's host key was not found in the cache

Hi Experts,

I am trying to execute a batch through the task scheduler and fails with the below error. But when i try to run the batch manually it works fine. Please help, its quiet urgent.

Below is my code:-
===================

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.com" /command "open sftp://XXXXX:XXXXXX@XXXXXX.XXXXXX.com" "ls" "cd WORK" "get TEST*.txt E:\TESTFOLDER\" "exit"

Below is the log:-
==================
