BackUps not deleting

I am backing up databases on SQL Server 2000 using a database maintenance
plan. I have set it to remove files older than 1 day (for both the database
and transaction log backups). This used to delete the old backup files, but
now it just backs up, without deleting anything.
Any help would be appreciated,
CraigSorry, I posted this in the wrong place. I have moved it to sqlserver.server
