Go through the server logs (if you have access to them) and find all occurences, timestamps etc of the 403's, then have a serious chat with your host.

& check content of .htaccess (if in use) and see if anything there may cause trouble. For example, have seen .htaccess 'deny' 403's spilling over to legitimate ip's due to server slowness\caching...
