Is the same windows service installed in the machine where you host your web application?

Sounds like the user your web application is running under is not privileged enough to work with services. Were you running as a local administrator on your development machine by any chance?

[sabby2006]

the user is not administrator but belongs to the administrator group and the user is a domain user

Are you sure that you are correctly impersonating this user?
