Server List Wipes - 'Access Is Denied'

This just started today, and I've had Minecraft installed for about 8 months on this computer already. I restarted my Minecraft Client due to my headphones not picking up sounds (not related) and I clicked the Multiplayer tab, low and behold no servers are listed. I checked the provided game output (console log) and found a bit of an error log. * Note my game is modded, with the mod 'Optifine' however I do not think this has any affect on the results. * Here is a paste to the log: http://pastebin.com/6dY1uwHL . As you can see, it states within the first couple of lines 'FileNotFoundException: (the location to the servers.dat file) Access is denied. I looked around the JIRA Report Lists and found some that could relate to this error but don't. Any ideas on what could be causing this? -
