Box Backup doesn't cache the script, but is this on Windows Vista? If so, 
you may be editing a copy in the shadow directory in C:\Users\Your 
User\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\Box Backup without realising it. 
The original copy would still be in C:\Program Files\Box Backup and 
bbackupd would still be running that copy. The easiest solution is to 
change your bbackupd.conf to point to the virtual store directory.

Otherwise, please let us know what version of Windows you are running and 
please attach your current NotifySysAdmin.vbs and an example of the emails 
that you receive from it.

Cheers, Chris.
