It's probably a security issue. IIS impersonates a different user account which probably doesn't have permission to access that directory. It's easy enough to determine which user should be given access - create a test page that has this line of code in the Page_Load():

Response.Write(Environment.UserName);

It's probably something like IWAM_ or NETWORK SERVICE.
