I am using impersonation, and exactly that seems to be the problem. If I set
identity impersonate to false, the files are read fine. Set to true, access
is denied. I went through and granted the approprite permissions to both the
IIS_WPG and the user accounts. Is there anything else that could be limiting
access?
