TF60024 Error attempting to migrate VSS to TFS

Question

I keep getting the TF60024 error "Unable to create the intermediate database required by VSS Converter on Microsoft SQL Server .\SQLEXPRESS. CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'." When I run the VSSConverter with "Migrate" and my xml file.

Here is my XML file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <SourceControlConverter>
        <ConverterSpecificSetting>
          <Source name="VSS">
                <VSSDatabase name="z:\CHS_SourceSafe"></VSSDatabase>
          </Source>
          <ProjectMap>
            <Project Source="$/Account Automation SQL" Destination="$/Account Automation SQL"></Project>
<!--Other projects excluded-->
         </ProjectMap>
        </ConverterSpecificSetting>
        <Settings>
                <TeamFoundationServer name="CHS-TFS" port="8080" protocol="http" collection="tfs/DefaultCollection"></TeamFoundationServer></Settings>
     </SourceControlConverter>

My network guy told me to mention:

I am a local admin on the Server (CHS-TFS)

I am a sys adm on both TFS 2010 64 bit and SQL Server (2008 R2 64 bit).

I'm running this from the (win 7): "c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE" folder.

The ANALYZE function returned 0 errors.

I've tried adding the ".root" to the end of the Source, that didn't help.

We also tried NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE full access (thinking that maybe it was using that as a default login)

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I found this one blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dparys/archive/2009/09/17/create-database-permission-denied-in-database-master-my-fix.aspx that seemed to deal with the issue, I worked though it, and still I'm getting the same error.

I finally figured out how to do this a different way. I watched this video:

You Tube video that explains other way of doing this

And downloaded this tool:

And it was much easier to do.
