The only time I've had problems with mt.exe and access denied is when for
some reason it runs the tool mt.exe too early.
When this happens the linker still has the target .exe or .dll open as it
links and therefore mt.exe will obviously fail.

But I can't tell you why it happens or give you a fix.
It's only happened to me a couple of times and pressing build again usually
resolves the problem.

I suppose you could try fiddling with the multiple project build settings
and set it to only build one project at a time.

Also check to see if there is a custom build rule which is trying to run
mt. If so delete the rule and let VS take care of running mt
