It's always been a file level issue iwth me on os error 3. Make sure:
-Your SQL Server service acct has write access to the listed folder
-Review NTFS permissions
-Make sure the folder exists
-Make sure it's not a 'mapped drive' as the other service user won't share your mapped drives
-Check it for physical disk errors

You can find out the messages for the operating system errors with NET HELPMSG.
Make sure that the specified path exists on the server (and that it's not a mapped network drive).
