Multi Server Jobs

I am running two instances of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (SP1) on the
same machine. Both SQL Server and Agent services use a local user account
which is member of Windows Administrators. The wizard for Enlisting TSX
fails with the following report:
Enlist TSX Progress
- Create MSXOperator (Success)
Checking for an existing MSXOperator.
Updating existing MSXOperator.
Successfully updated MSXOperator.
- Make sure the Agent service for 'NIMA\sql2005_1' is running (Success)
The service 'SQLAgent$SQL2005_1' is running.
- Enlist 'NIMA\sql2005_2' into 'NIMA\sql2005_1' (Error)
Enlisting target server 'NIMA\sql2005_2' with master server
'NIMA\sql2005_1'.
Using new enlistment method.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Hello Leila,
Personally MSX is really bad in RTM and SP1. a huge number of fixes are in
SP2.
Have you tried a domain account for SQL Agent?
