Evan,

Have you tried impersonation to make sure that works? My thinking is that there is more than one file that needs the rights. You could have dependancy files that also need to have the security rights set. Here is a message that explains how to setup impersonation - Message #682735

>The ASP.NET process is not authorized to access the requested resource. For security reasons the default ASP.NET process identity is '{machinename}\ASPNET', which has limited privileges. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET process identity.

>To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the "{machinename}\ASPNET" user. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the Write box in the Allow column.
