The Remote Server Returned An Error: (403) Forbidden

I wish http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1865928&SiteID=1 had the resolution to my issue but it doesn't.

Long story short, I thought I'd build a local web service with the same signature as something another team was doing. In Visual Studio, you can click on the project and select Publish.

One of the options is to "Delete all existing files prior to publish." I was unfamilar with this option and it does exactly what it claims to do: my inetpubwwwroot folder is clean as a whistle. I was expecting it to only delete what it had put out there but apparently not.

We have a deploy process here so the web work and the reports I've developed can and have been dropped back out there, no harm done. I recreated the virtuals for Reports and ReportServer and something is amiss. I can navigate to http://localhost/Reports/ and it's fine, it displays the folders I had created. I can click into the folders and see the reports I had deployed just fine. However, when I actually click on a report, it starts to serve the content but then chokes and dies on rendering. It then indicates "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."

I have gone through a fellow developer's machine and compared the IIS settings between the two machines and they appear to be the same.

Auth is set to Integrated Windows
I have restarted iis (iisreset) as well as followed up with a bounce to the "SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)" service
It's all using the 2.0.507270.0 engine

Any help would be appreciated immensely.
