    Most likely, it is a security issue. Ask your DBA ro check.

    It may also be the mess of database configuration. But it is weird.

    Here are some links for your future references.

    This is usually due to the account which is running SQL server. It would appear that your service account does not have access to the local system file. Check the account which is running SQL by going into your services.msc and double click "SQL Server (InstanceName)" and check the logon tab.
