Maintenance plan failing

i keep getting the following error in my Event Viewer regarding a maintnance
plan I have set up in MS SQL Server 2000:
SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Transaction Log Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan
'DB Maintenance Plan master, msdb, model''
(0x0D97085E32705247B590ADA245D3FE07) - Status: Failed - Invoked on:
2006-11-14 00:00:05 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by
Schedule 76 (Schedule 1). The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).
Any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?

You can't do a transaction log backup on a database that is in Simple
recovery mode.
