Sounds like a permissions problem. You should enable auditing, then check
the Windows security event log. You might also be able to see what
permission is lacking by looking in the IIS web server log.

Also, it could be that the ID you think is being used is not the one being
used. As you might already know, the IWAM_computername account [and not the
IUSR account] is used if the Application Isolation setting on the folder
containing your .ASP script is set to Medium or High in the IIS MMC.
