Exit code 2 is an old DOS error - File not found. All you need to find out now is which file! ProcMon will come in handy for that but you'll obviously need to use that locally, rather than via SCCM.
It's always handy to remember the common DOS errors: 2 - File not found, 3 - Path not found, 5 - Access denied and so on.

Are you checking whether the application is installed or not before attempting to run the uninstall? If you run a typical uninstall command line through SMS and rely on the exit code for your success/failure criteria, then any msiexec.exe /x command run on a product that doesn't exist will return an error, which in turn stops any further chained programs from running.
If you don't have any version checking before attempting to uninstall, you might think about looking into the uninstall keys located at HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall .

Thanks VBScab and Jsaylor.
Turns out the third line of my .CMD [rmdir /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\SnagIt 8"] which I had put in as a mirror of what I had to do with the SnagIt 7 uninstall was running before/during the second line [MsiExec.exe /qn /x {DA0BF7AB-88EB-4675-8FA1-531EAD938821} /norestart /l C:\Snagit8Uninstall.log] which was removing files that the uninstall was looking to clean up and subsequently not finding. Thanks procmon and Mark's Blog on Sharing Violations.
