Looks like a permissions issue. You may not have the proper permissions to access the files where they reside.

Cool

Definitely its a permission issue. What permissions have you got on the server or on the file system?

I would check the permission on the folder where your data and tlog files are being put.

What's your OS?
If you use Windows2008 or Vista the UAC can cause this error while attaching a database.
