I haven't found any suggestions besides re-installing IIS. Is this what you ended up doing? Hi I am hunting around for a solution to this same problem.

Depending on how much stuff you tweaked it could be a walk in the park (creating a few virtual directories, changing some permissions, etc.). It would probably be easier than finding the exact cause. Of course, then you won't know what happened, why it happened, and what the solution really is. And who knows, maybe reinstalling IIS won't fix the problem... which could just mean more work which I'm sure you already have plenty of. Here’s a link that you might want to look at:
