Database Maintenance question...

I set up a Database Maintenance plan for backing 3 databases, their
transaction logs, running optimizations, and to perform integrity checks.
I've been noticing that when I don't receive a notice when my jobs have
completed via email, the Status of the jobs are in "Performing completion
actions". The jobs will not re-run until I either restart SQL server or do a
reboot. Then it works for a while, then the status gets stuck again on
"Performing completion actions".
Does anyone know what could be causing this? It's happening on the database
and transaction log backups and the optimization job. Again, the maintenance
plan is configured for 3 databases, all of which are set to "Full" for their
recovery mode, and the total size of all 3 is around 7GB.
Should I maybe create a separate maintenance plan for each individual
database?
Thank you!

You could use SMTP emails instead see
http://www.sqldev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htminstead and use the job flow logic of the
job to either send a success or failure message.

Database Maintenance Error 21268

SQL Server 2000 on Win2003
Database Maintenance/Optimizations generates the following error in the log:
Error 21268: [SQL-DMO]Row or column specified is outside the range of the
specified query result set.
Which "specified query result test" is this message speaking about?
Many thanks for your help,
Dan
