OK ... this one still is a "stumper" but I have at least got it working again. I have dealt w/ permissions issues for as long as I have had to administer accounts so I pretty much have seen it all ... except this one.
We finally had to remove the account on the target server, drop the server from the domain, re-Add the account and perform a reboot, which probably didn't do a darn thing BUT for good measure, and low-and-behold ... the access has been restored and the jobs that push the files to the target server from the source are once again fine.
If I find the root of this issue, I will post it here.
Thanks All!
Thanks
