DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalisation if you want to be taken seriously.

So, the error says access denied. Have you made sure there is sufficient permissions on the file itself and to wherever you are trying to restore to? The easiest way around it is to add the Everyone group with full control. After you are done remove the Everyone group.

Does the target file 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\XXXXXX.mdf' already exist there?

Check your "mdf" file 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\XXXXXX.mdf' location.

It must be permission problems with your server.
Check if you have access to the server your database refers to.
