System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\HostingSpaces\User1\mydomain.com\wwwroot' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating.
