The SQL service account is an administrator on that box, and that folder has full acces to the administrators group. So at least from a configuration standpoint it appears to have access.
I've tried running the script using both a SQL login and integrated security and both time the same error.
I've also logged in to SSMS using that user and created a db w no problem.
Thanks!

Does the account that sql runs as have the security privilege to access the directory?
