*Is* the key a part of and seen in HKCU? If so, then that is a
problem (for regedit running under SYSTEM).

Not so much "copied" as mirrored or linked with the SID listed in HKU
while logged on. Like an "alias".

Okay, but S-...-500 is the builtin Administrator account... Not
(presumably) your user account.
First determine your account's SID. One way, look in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\ProfileList
Then *while you are logged on with that account* use the
HKU\S-... key (your account) path to the key in the REG file
(running under SYSTEM (Task Scheduler)).
If that does not work and you are also unable to take ownership of
the key (or its parent) and propagate downward using regedt32, then
it is possible that either corruption exists or that the key that was
created using a invalid (for Win32 API) name.
Post more about how the key came into being in the first place.
Confirm the "take ownership" sequence.
Post the exact error text from regedt32.
Consider dumping the user Profile and rebuilding it. (or restoring
from backup)
