Deyra posted the following just a few threads down:

Make sure that in your SQL box --> in the enterprise manager - look under
the Security --> Logins and make sure that you have your Sharepoint account
added to the security Logins

as (minimum)
Security Administrator
Table Creator
and that account has acess to all of the Databases for sharepoint.
