PermissionDenied without even trying

I disassembled the icontrolplugin and added some debugging code to figure this out. Unfortunately what I learned was that if any exception happens during this call it will always return a hard coded PermissionDenied error. I changed the code to return the actual exception encountered and in my case I actually had a root web.config issue related to my company's app that was preventing icontrol to load one of the core webrequest objects in .net. Once I could actually see the exception I was running into it took me less then 5 mins to fix. Lesson to the kids...never hard code an exception.
