If you have a dynamic view, this can be caused by wrong
file permissions on the server side - check this.
Also try to disable your antivirus temporary.

I am actually able to see the file on the filesystem. In fact I can
open it manually. So I think the permission is ok. However during a
compile, visual studio cannot find it but it can find other files in
the same dir.

I have also tried disabling anti-virus and still the same problem.

Ok I Finally figured it out.

It's got to do with the maximum filename length allowed in windows
(260).
It'd be nice if visual studio gives a better error message. You've got
to have a filename of exactly 260 characters for visual studio to give
a buffer overrun error. If you have a filename more than 260 chars
long, visual studio says file not found. Very misleading error!!

So my project is in M:\a\b\c and I specified a relative include path
...\..\x\y\z.

Visual studio expands the whole path as M:\a\b\c\..\..x\y\z. With the
clearcase viewname and enough depth in the directory structure this
path gets too long.

One interesting thing is that if you change the Debug Information
Format to "Program Database for edit and Continue" visual studio
evaluates the path as M:\ax\y\z. It somewhat makes the total path a
little bit shorter. And that fixes my problems.

There may be multiple header files with the same name but of different
version. Change property of the project to show include files to check
