If the VDir is pointing to an UNC share, then we parse the aspx file
contents and create all the folders under the Temporary ASP.NET Files
folder using the "Connect
As" user (that we specify while creating the VDir in IIS ) security context
and not the process identity. (It is the process Identity if the vdir is
pointing to a local folders but not UNC shares).

Give the appropriate rights to the "Connect As" user should resolve the
issue.

Usually, it is suggested to choose the "Connect as" user to be a strong
local user and weak remote user. That means, that account should have as
many permissions and rights as that of ASPNET account(process identity) and
just the permissions on the content on the remote machine where UNC share
is located.
