"Access Is Denied" in Windows Explorer when trying to read contents of External USB Backup disk

I would like to view the contents of a backup disk connected to my SBS 2011 server.  Backups are completing successfully and I want to use cloud based backup to store the backup files in the cloud.

I've opened Disk Management and assigned a drive letter (K:) to my backup disk "Backup Disk 1".  When i try to view the contents in Windows Explorer I get "K:/ is not accessible... Access is denied".

I am able to view the properties of the disk in Disk Managment and I am able to view the directory structure of the K: drive using an elevated command prompt (i.e. k:, cd\windowsimagebackup, etc.). It's just Windows Explorer where I am having the problem.

I have checked the permissions and ownership of the and the Domain Admin has full control (Im logged on as a domain administrator).  When I try to change ownership, it errors again with "Access is Denied".

I've been able to do this on other SBS 2011 systems.  It's this system that is giving me the problem. 

Any ideas or things I might try? 

Thanks.
