Outlook 2007 PST Files

I am using Outlook 2007 with Vista 64.
I can't access my pst files from my previous version of Outlook as I keep
getting an error message saying I don't have permission.
I have checked to make sure the files are not read only and I am logged on
as administrator but the only way I can access them is by moving them into
the default directory "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook ".
I want to keep my pst files in a seperate location on my D drive but it
won't let me move them.
This seems to be a bug in Outlook?

What is the previous version? Where is that previous version installed?

When you moved the pst was outlook closed? Did you edit your profile to
change the data file location Outlook uses?

Previous version was Office XP.
I just completed a clean install of Vista 64 so I never ran the old Outlook
on this OS.
I installed Office 2007 and once I had opened Outlook I tried to access my
old pst files which are stored on another drive but still on this PC. This is
where I got the error messages.
"File access denied. You do not have the permission required to access the
file D:\**********.pst"
I checked to make sure the file was not read only.
If I move the file into the default Outlook directory I can access it fine
but I don't want to keep my data on the same drive as my OS

If I then move all the pst files out of the default location Outlook gives
me an error message when I restart it, however I can then point it to the new
location and it can then access one of the files but not all of them?
