I had this problem as well, after migrating a website from IIS4 (don't
ask) to IIS6.
Turns out that using FileMon
(http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml) gave me the
answer: ACCESS DENIED
After that it was a case of allowing w3wp.exe (in its security context)
permission to get to the file. It's probably NETWORK SERVICE that needs
adding at the file/folder level.
