Setting folder permissions

Hi,

I am creating a windows service. This service has a filewatcher on it.

When I drop a file, I want to parse the filename then create the directory.
The directory will be in a filestore server so I am passing in a UNC path.
The filestore directory will then also be a virtual directory within an
ASP.NET application, so I need to take those permissions into consideration.

I am having problems setting the permissions. The error is
UnauthorizedAccessException.

Here is my code...

string RootPath =
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorePathRoot"];
string[] Folder = e.Name.Split('_');

if (Folder[0] != string.Empty)
{
RootPath += Folder[0] + "\\";

if (!Directory.Exists(RootPath))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(RootPath);

DirectoryInfo hInfo = new DirectoryInfo(RootPath);
DirectorySecurity dirSec = hInfo.GetAccessControl();

dirSec.AddAccessRule(new
FileSystemAccessRule(@"david\Everyone", FileSystemRights.Modify,
AccessControlType.Allow));
dirSec.AddAccessRule(new
FileSystemAccessRule(@"david\LOCAL SERVICE", FileSystemRights.Modify,
AccessControlType.Allow));

hInfo.SetAccessControl(dirSec);

}
}

System.IO.File.Move(e.FullPath, RootPath + e.Name);


I set the path in the app.config. This is a UNC path (currently to my pc,
but will go to a network share). As you can see, I am trying to give
"Everyone" permisssion and "LOCAL SERVICE" permission. It is actually
failing on the first one, "Everyone". The directory is being created fine.
In fact, if I didn't have the permission routine, when I copy a file into my
drop folder, it does get moved, though if I copy 2 files into the drop
folder, it stops. (I am copying an xml and a pdf file with the same first
part of the filename, i.e. test_1.xml and test_1.pdf )

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
