Does anyone have the access file opened exclusively?

If that is not the problem, check if the login account used to run the SQL Server agent has access to that folder and the mdb file. You can find the login account from SQL Server Configuration manager (in SQL Server Program group) or run

wmic service where "name Like '%Agent%'" get Name , StartName
