OCIEnvNlsCreate failed

Question

I have an asp.net application talking to an Oracle 9.2 Database. It works fine on my local machine but when I copy it to our Windows 2003 webserver I get the "OCIEnvNlsCreate failed with return code -1" error. I have checked that the asp.net user has read and write permissions to the entire Oracle Home directory on the server. any other suggestions would be appreciated.
