When you run the package with DTSRUN, the package is being run on the machine that you're currently logged into. When you use TSQL or a stored procedure, the package is being run on the server under the permissions assigned to the SQLServer service account.

Also, maybe there's a trigger causing the transaction to be rolled-back. Configure the package and datapump to capture error messages to a file.
