The solution,,, all I needed to do in this case was look at the file properties and noticed a security section on the general tab. Windows had identified the file coming from another machine and had blocked access to it - and of assuming you happy with the file's source and safety there is an 'Unblock' button. Click this and you are back in business!!

How do you get past "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."?
I had copied a file to my test server Windows 2003 and tried to run it and repeatedly got "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.". I tried moving it to different locations but still no, it would not budge. I was actually connected as Administrator so permisissions should not have been a problem.
