Came across this error while executing a SSIS package through a SQL Agent Job on a SQL Server 2008 server.The job is running under a windows security account and the SSIS package is stored on file system of the server.

The exact error message received was as shown below.

Since the error message is talking about access, verified whether the security account with which SQL Agent Service is running has access to the server folder in which SSIS package is stored. Noticed that the security account doesn't have the access and the job started working after giving the read & write permission on the folder.

Let me know if this has helped you.
