I setup an import script step and it works on FM Pro running on the server but when I run the script as a server script I get this error...

ERROR 100: File is missing

do i have to format it differently?

Please post the script here. We cannot tell what you are doing otherwise.

Sometimes the script won't show the issue particularly if it works fine in FMP ... is the other file in another directory or on a different server box?

The source document for the import must reside in a place where FileMaker Server can access it.

See this article for more information.
