Are you saying you applied "Administrator" privileges to the
drive/folder? If so, are you executing your script as a normal user or
as "Administrator"? Example: In order to run something from the
command prompt as "Administrator" when you are not directly logged in
as "Administrator" in Windows 7, you must right click on the "Command
Prompt" shortcut and then click "Run as administrator" to invoke those
privileges.

Have you tried simply invoking python (i.e. idle) and walking through
each of your commands step by step?
