TFS Build fails to copy to drop location

Building my solution succeeds, but the build fails upon copying from the build to the drop location. I get an error like this

TF270002: An error occurred copying files from 'E:\Workspace' to '\\server\drop location_20101026.25'. 
Details: Access to the path '\\server\drop location_20101026.25\_PublishedWebsites\website\bin\somecompiled.dll' is denied.

This is a part of a continuous integration build (as well as several other types of build that I've tried). This is a copied build definition from a definition that has worked for several months now, running on TFS 2010.

if you try to access that location manually from the TFS server, will you have access? May be there was changes in network? – ika
I can access the files and folders fine after seeing the message. I forgot to mention that this is an intermittent error. I'd disabled Norton antivirus on those folders to try and prevent that from being the culprit (no luck). – CodeMonkey1313
Pretty sure I caused this myself as I had tweaked the workflow to use a parallel foreach container which would deploy various built websites to development servers, so I think i was running into contention with robocopy. I'll know for sure tomorrow – CodeMonkey1313

Yep, I was right, I did this myself by putting the copy to drop location task in the parallel foreach loop, resulting in the task being done 3 times, and causing my problems.
