Looks like the user running the Worker application doesn’t have permission to create that directory. Could you double check that the permissions on the file server are set up to allow that?

Try to convert the filepath to UNC instead of mapped drives:

\\yourfileservername-or-ip\yoursharename\VFX\Renders\FirePrj\001_001\FX\
