Author problem with forms authentication - failing create authentication ticket

I have a site using forms authentication which works correctly in my
local development environment but when I deploy it onto a QA server I
am can reach the login screen but it does not log in correctly. The
login process seems to be failing a the point where it calls this line
of
code "ticket = CmsFormsAuthentication.AuthenticateAsUser("username",
"password);"

The cmsauthentication ticket is coming back as null.

I checked the windows security log and the entries indicate that a
successful login was made, I have an entry including the below so I am
unsure why it is failing to create an authentiation ticket

Hi Scott,

this should only happen if the user credentials cannot be validated.
Does this only happen to local machine accounts?

Cheers,
Stefan

The way our site works is to first validate against a dabase (this part
works ok) and then login using one of several pre-set windows local
machine accounts set in a config file. So we have only ever used local
machine accounts.
