Forget it.   Figured it out.  The account associated with ACS needs access do the directories.  I gave it local admin access to the box and all is well.  Have no idea how it changed, but I have a suspision that our system admin tightened up security and took the AD account associated with ACS and stripped its permisstions away, so I just gave it local admin access to the box.

This worked

Thanks Gene......Oh your very welcome!!!    :-)))))
