Can´t verify my site on Google (error 403 Forbidden). I have other sites in the same host with no problems whatsoever

I can´t verify my site on Google.
I´ve done this several times for several sites, all inside the same host.
I´ve tried the HTML tag method, HTML upload, Domain Name provider (I canp´t find the options that Google tell me that I should activate...), and Google Analytics.
I always get this response:
Verification failed for http://www.mysite.com/ using the Google Analytics method (1 minute ago). Your verification file returns a status of 403 (Forbidden) instead of 200 (OK).
I´ve checked the server headers, and I get this result:
REQUESTING: http://www.mysite.com GET / HTTP/1.1 Connection: Keep-Alive Keep-Alive: 300 Accept:/ Host: www.mysite.com

Final Destination Page (It shows my actual homepage).
What can I do? The hosting is the very same as in my other sites, where I didn´t have any issue at all! Thanks for your help!
Note: As I have a Drupal 7 site, I´ve tried a "Drupal solution" first, but haven´t found any that solved this issue...
How can it be forbidden when I can access the link perfectly ok? Is there any solution to this? Thanks!
