This isn't just you-I've run into the same thing with 2008 (I believe the 
behavior isn't limited just to R2).

OK so disabling UAC lets me get at the data (though I could get at it from 
cmd.exe with UAC enabled).

At least now I have something to go on in trying to track down quite which 
setting it is that "protects" Administrators from accessing data to which they 
have access... grrr!

Completely about UAC.

Disable UAC or use the File Server / Shares MMCs (elevated, of course) instead 
of Windows Explorer.

How are you creating these VMs?  This doesn't sound like normal behavior...
