First make sure theuser has access to the folder.

Go to the folder and right click on a white space and select properties -> go to the security tab -> click on advance and select the effective permissions tab. Click the select and enter the user name. This will give you the effective permissions of the user.

If he has access (read, write, etc ) check the share permissions on the share which may be some levels up from the actual folder.

If the share permissions are OK, check all folders from the share level to the folder that user may not have access to a folder and that is casing his problem.

If the user has no access make sure you consult the data owner before you asigne access to the user.
