It sounds like you just need to allow read access to the directory in question for the user you're using for impersonation. You'd just do that through Windows Explorer.

I am able to get around the limitations by discontinuing the use of impersonation and falling back to an ASPNET user. I guess the impersonated user is missing the local security policy to read the directory info.
