Thank you John. The host provider has been very responsive and just notified
me to explain they had to apply permissions for the Network Service account
byut didn't explain if that was applied to the root of the account to enable
permissions to propagate or if the permissions were applied to the
application root of the virtual application so one more round opf tech
support %-)

Got to read more about Code Access Security and just found this...
