i personally think that it was moving the map foldet to the virtual directory. the true path to my sv_downloadurl folder is http://www.noquestionsasked.co.uk/httpdocs/sv_downloadurl but it shows up on the internet as http://www.noquestionsasked.co.uk/sv_downloadurl (btw don't try and access it as i have turned off directory listing. so it will just error out on you).
i'm not too hot with iis. i get my webserver host to worry about that. i just thought i mention your setup now sounds similar to mine.
