    That's because you are replacing 2 characters instead of 1
    😎

    SELECT --CheckDate,
    stuff((
    SELECT DISTINCT ',' + ProcessName
    FROM [database].[dbo].[DataLoadCheck] as t1
    where t1.CheckDate = t2.CheckDate and IsProcessed = 0
    FOR XML PATH('')
    ), 1, 2, '')
    FROM [database].[dbo].[DataLoadCheck] as t2
    GROUP BY CheckDate
