Merge Replication error: You do not have permission to run 'SP_TRACE_GENERATEEVENT'

Question

I have setup a merge replication. Server DUCKDUCK1-1 is distributor and publisher. Server DUCKDUCK-2 is subscriber.

I have only one small table replicated (this is a test).

The table is being replicated (but it's empty on the subscriber).

The error shown says:

Error messages:
You do not have permission to run 'SP_TRACE_GENERATEEVENT'. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 8189)
Get help: http://help/8189
The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201001

The verbose log says the following:

As per Microsoft documentation:

COM object initialization failed for an XML Subscriber. Some reasons why merge replication did not apply schema changes to the Subscriber include the following:

A failure to create a directory to write the temporary snapshot files.

A failure to enumerate schema articles.

For SQL Server Compact Subscribers, a failure to reinitialize the subscription.

If the object is message based, a failure to write to the message file.

Have you allocated enough memory to SQL Server and is anything filling up, such as transaction logs or disks?
