If I can take a guess, you are developing on Windows XP and deploying to
Windows Server 2003. The file you are attempting to attach exists in a
folder outside of the website (instead of something like <root>/attachments
it is c:\attachments).

If so, you have choices:
1. Turn off the transversal security bits and allow the website to read from
any folder (this is also known as "destroy the security of your machine")
2. Set up a windows service to feed the file
3. Move the attachment files to the website directory structure
4. Move the attachment "file" to the database
