can not find XML files in subdirectories

Hi,

I'm getting the following err msg when navigating to some of my pages.
XML data is located in subdirectory app_data. I don't know how to use the
Web Application Tool to view folder/directories under the Beta Hosting Account
so I am unable to confirm that xml files are actually in folder. Any help/suggestions
would be appreciated. You can hit my app at url http://beta-178367.server1.dotnetsandbox.net/index.aspx

Thanks, Wayne.

.....here is the err msg
