I get the same error message even after giving the sql server account a 'full access' permission on the folderswhere the snapshots files are located
Make sure it's whatever is the real path as specified in the error message. Default snapshot folder is not the same as where the snapshot files are it's a subfolder.
Check the working_directory value in the MSdistpublishers table in msdb

The working_directory value in the MSdistpublishers table is different than the error message does that mean I need to amend the location and why would it be different than what it was set to?
