Sorry for the mistake. I was talking about the "Read" access.

It simply means you don't have the read access on the folder for the user.

To start with, make sure you are able to access the location normally using your windows-run command. If you are using some 'impersonation' in your web.config, then make sure that this username has access permissions. If no impersonation, then ASPNET should have the permission correctly configured.
