Resolution
This is due to the reason that the user under WebStatistica user group SWS_USER does not have access to the WebStatistica RepositoryRoot folder.
The solution is to add SWS_USER group or Everyone to the list of Usernames and give the group full control access to the WebStatistica Repository root folder: ":\WebSTATISTICAPub\RepositoryRoot\"
