    The server runs a program called Replistor (vendor Legato) which syncronizes
    files between 2 servers - what makes it special is that it works with open
    files such as database files. Replistor runs 2 services: 'Replistor Server'
    and 'Replistor Control Service'. When I stopped Replistor it resolved my
    problem. It's possible the permissions error that the OS threw was slightly
    misleading.
