Hi,
The issue may be caused because of NTFS permission on the Office Server Web Services website files. By default these files are located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\WebServices\Root. Please try to do the steps below:
1. Determine what account is running the application pool for the Office Server Web Services (Network Service by default)
2. Grant this account Read, List Folder Contents on the Root folder.
3. Reset IIS.
Hope it helps.

- Hi there.
Does the WSS log say anything of interest?
Do you have the same service pack/hotfix level on all servers?
