I have a webjob running on a server on premise (i.e. not hosted on Azure). It can get jobs from the queue fine, and processes them with no problem but I'm getting the following exception when it has finished processing a job on the queue:
Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.StorageException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

The webjob runs fine on my dev machine, and on another PC but gets the exception on a Windows 2012 R2 server. If I change the connection strings to read from a queue in a different Azure account it works fine, so I guess there is something wrong with the settings on my main Azure account, but I don't understand why its not a problem when it runs on other machines.
I am currently using v1.1.0 of the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs with v7.0.0 of WindowsAzure.Storage. I get the same results with v1.1.1 of the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs with v5.0.2 of WindowsAzure.Storage.
I have followed the suggestions in the question Azure Web Job-The remote server returned 404 and can confirm I have the those 4 blob containers set up.
Edit I updated the microsoft.azure.webjobs nuget package to 1.1.2 and this seemed to fix the above problem, but after running happily for 2 weeks the error suddenly re appeared. There was no code change or re deployment; the code that was working fine just stopped working for no reason, and as far as I know there was no change to our Azure account. I have changed the config file to point to a different Azure account and again it works fine.
Any suggestions on what is causing the 404?
