I have a DTS package which creates a txt file and outputs it to a UNC path, e.g. \\server\data$\textfile.txt

The SQL server is running under a domain account called SVCSQL. This account also has permissions to the share above. This is setup OK as I've logged into a machine as SVCSQL and accessed the share successfully.

However, I still keep getting an Error opening datafile: Access is denied.

ANy ideas what else I can check?

Is the SVCSQL account a member of the sa group? If not, I think the package will run will run under the proxy account and take it's authority from there.
