    I remoted into the app server (not web server, I keep saying that wrong) with the login in question. I logged into SSMS using windows authentication and opened up the database server. I browsed through object explorer on the databases and tables in question no issue. I opened up a few tables with no problem.

    The SQL error log's ever so helpful "error" from around the same time of the error (this happened about a minute earlier than the package failure, though) is "Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11".

    The SQL Agent log has nothing from around that time.

    I need a wall for which to pound my head against.

    Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11

    State 11 corresponds to “Valid login but server access failure” which again points to the same fact that the login is valid but is missing certain security privileges which would grant it access to the instance.
