When using the FP extensions you are not suppose to be able to do what you did under NT4, as the
extensions do not support access to virtual directories.

I don't recall which OS you have upgraded to, but Windows 2000 server handles permission totally
different from NT4, and Windows 2003 server comes with everything lock down (so things that worked
in the past, may no longer work), as well as later versions of the FP extensions, so these
upgrades/updates could have fixed the flaw that allowed you to do what you were not suppose to be
able to do.

As a solution, why not just create a subweb under the current space allotted to the current root
web?
