Render - "File Error: Access Denied"

When I attempt to Render All in a sequence I get "File Error: Access Denied". What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?

BTW, file is set to "Read & Write".

Thanks for any help.

David, I've just gotten back to training and I'm doing this with Lynda.com tutorials.

The problem area that I posted about has a moving clip that's in V1, overlaying that in V2 is text. From what I just figured out it's actually the text that's giving me the error. I found this out by unchecking "Clip Enable" for each and then tried rendering. It went fine for V1, but got the error on V2, the text.

Motion Clip Properties:
Quicktime
2.5mb
29.97fps
720x486
ProRes 422
NTSC

Text properties:
Layered Graphic Sequence
3.9mb
23.98fps
720x486
NTSC

Both are "Read & Write".

When I play this part of my sequence the motion clip does not move when I hit play, yet if I scrub I see the motion. This I assume is because it needs to be rendered. There's also a red line in the TL above these two clips.

Is there something more I need to post?

David,
Yes the other clip renders fine. The text clip that I'm speaking of is a PSD file, so yes it's from PS. When that text clip is included in my TL on top of the clip that has motion it doesn't allow the motion. As soon as I delete it, I get my motion back.

How do I change the text clip to be the same speed as the others, 29.97?

Randy,
The file is on a separate drive, but I do have read/write permissions set to everyone and all enclosed items. After your post I copied it to my master drive and imported it into FCP and it still had the same error. I also made my own title in PS and imported it into FCP and again got the same error. It seems that when a graphic is imported it's automatically 23.98.
