Just to get the silly and obvious questions out of the way:

1. Are you sure the file you are looking for exists on the deployed machine.

2. Does the process/application have read access to the folder? If it didn't
have read access then it might throw an exception - but I'm not sure so its
worth checking privileges.

hope this helps,

Brian.
