when trying to perform a copy database using SMO, everything works except
the final step.

This is Win2003r2/sql9.0.1399

I presume this is an error with the ASP.NET user's permissions, but does
anyone know what the resolution is?

FWIW: I have .NET Framework 2.0 installed but not IIS.

The error looks like application error which simply should not occur. That
is, a bug in SMO or elsewhere.

Anyway, you have the RTM version of SQL 2005, and SP1 has been out for
some months. Not that SP1 have tons of fixes, but you should definitely
start by getting hold of SP1 and install that.
