ASP.NET application cannot write to folder

Question

I have a .net 2.0 application that I have migrated from a Windows Server 2003/IIS6 to Windows Server 2008/IIS7

This application needs to write to a folder in the public folders section on the server. I have given full rights to:

Still the ASP.NET app cannot write to the folder. The folder is visible in IIS 7 Manager, and it exists on the file system.

Whenever I execute the part of the app that needs to write to the folder I receive the following error:

enter image description here

This worked fine on the previous server, but I cannot figure out how to get it to work on the new server. Please advise.
