I agree with Sachin in that you are looking at a permissions issue
concerning the ASPNET account. It is reccomended that if you need to grant
permission to a location other than what the Framework absolutely needs you
should use impersonation so that you are giving the permission only to the
IIS authenticated user. Also, if you want to make sure of who and what
permission is needed you can use a tool called filemon from
www.sysinternals.com. This tool monitors file access on the machine. You
would want to restart IIS, run filemon, reproduce the error, stop filemon
and then look for any Access Denieds in the results. Also it will list what
account was accessing the location.

Here is an article on impersonation:
