This Apple Support document dated May 30, 2008 (Article TS1387) discusses a problem some users have had adding music to their iTunes library, particularly when importing an audio CD.
Symptoms

“Attempting to copy to the disk ‘your hard drive name’ failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.”
This occurs when you:Drag music from another location into iTunes.
Add music to iTunes using “Add to library…” (“Add file to library…” and “Add folder to library…” on Windows) from the File menu in iTunes.
Or you may see a message reading:“Error occurred while converting the file ’song name’. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.”
This can occur when you:Import music from an audio CD.
Convert a song in iTunes to another file format using “Convert Selection to chosen format” from the Advanced menu in iTunes.
Or you may see a message reading:“There was an error downloading your purchased music. iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music Folder, then use the Check for Purchased Music command in the Advanced menu to try again”

The problem arises from incorrect permissions on the folder you select for your music, or on a folder with in it. Links on the page lead to instructions for setting and troubleshooting permissions in Mac OS X and Windows XP.
