Access Denied when logging into customer site as Crawl Service Account
I am struggling with getting the crawl service account to successfully crawl SharePoint sites in one of our SharePoint Foundation 2010 farms. If I try to login to a site collection using the crawl account credentials, I get Error:
Access denied.
You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource.
I have added the account as a managed service account and associated it with the "Windows Service - SharePoint Server Search". It is listed as the Default Content Access Account in the Search Administration section, but when search runs, it is full of the error:
| Exception from HRESULT: 0x810200CE ( Error from SharePoint site: Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource. ) |
The only content it is able to crawl is content that is set to allow anonymous access. Everything else fails with the error. Can anyone help me find what I am missing here?
Thanks in advance,
Vinny

Anyone have any other ideas here? I'm feeling very stuck.
- Also, quick note, this crawl runs fine using the farm credentials instead of the crawl account's creds, so I'm guessing this is a permissions issue somewhere.
Does the account have Full Read rights in the User Policy on the Web Application?
- Yeah, the account does have full read permissions on all web applications.
