On IIS 6.0 ASP.NET does not use the ASPNET account. It uses the process
identity of the web app pool that it is assigned to.

Q1) Does you app work if you use one of the standard process identities? (eg
Network Service or LocalSystem)?

Q2) If you are using a custom identity (eg ASP.NET) is it in the IIS_WPG
group?

Q3) You may need to use IISState to troubleshoot this issue:
