Setting up a new developing workstation, when I run the ASP.NET (MVC) application from Visual Studio 2008 I get a SecurityException. Any ideas what might be the problem?

I am accessing the data files over SMB (it's a shared mounted as Z:) and I've given full trust to it by running

caspol -m -ag 1 -url "\\server\share\" FullTrust -exclusive on
The full traceback is:
  
Server Error in '/' Application.
  
Security Exception
  
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by
  the security policy.  To grant this application the required permission
  please contact your system administrator or change the

Are you using a virtual directory that points to a remote share?

                Yes, I am. Do you know if in that link web server refers to IIS? Because I'm using Casini for development.

                That link refers to IIS, but I think Casini has the same restrictions. Have you tried to grant the FullTrust right to the remote share?

                I don't doubt Casini has the same restrictions, I just haven't been able to figure out how to fix it. How do you grant FullTrust to a remote share?

                I've tried giving full trust with  caspol -m -ag 1 -url “\\server\share\” FullTrust -exclusive on  but it changed nothing.

                Okay, I tried a copy-paste from above.  The reason it did not work is because the hyphen before the m is not the real hyphen.
