I'm pretty certain that it is the single file scanner in your second attachment.Mine is similar:

When copying in the "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /AUTOCHECK line before,did you hit Apply,and then OK?

Stiil no scan but getting warmer!.
This morning I had what I call the full screen appearing or perhaps its the control panel. Behind that was the "error retrieving update file". That was to be expected as my internet connection drops sometimes (as it did last night).

No scan. No error retrieveing files this time. Control panel only appearing.
Attached is the schedule edit window.
Attached is the schedule edit window.
That's because SDMain.exe has been automated again.It has to be SpybotSD.exe.
Please follow this to show Hidden Files and Folders:

Now,go back into Spybot's scheduler section and open the Edit window once again,then click the Browse button.Navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy,then select SpybotSD.exe,and click Open.Then,after the "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe",go to the end of that line,make a space,then put /AUTOCHECK at the end,so that the line looks like this:
"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /AUTOCHECK
Next,click Apply,and then OK.
Then,please give me another screenshot of the schedule edit window.Thanks.

Today I used the computers 'search' fascility to look for spybotSD.exe.
I seach all files and folders including 'hidden' files. It found nothing.
Have a strange feeling in my water now that the file we are looking for, 'spybotSD.exe' is missing.
Take a look at this attachment and see what you think.

That's because you need to follow the instructions to show hidden files and folders.

Make sure you follow everything,right up to number 10,or SpybotSD.exe will not show.

Nope!, nothing at all. There was nothing on screen at all this morning. No launch of any part of spybot. Internet connection intact all night and no dialog boxes saying 'unable to update files'. I did check the logs which confirmed again no scan.
Well Zenobia, wasn't it better in Roman times when we didn't have these pesky computers
