Yep but to get the panel off, you need the boot open lol.
Have a look next to the right hand (as you look at it) number plate light, there should be a round rubber bung in it. pull the bung out and you'll find a key hole, this should allow you to open it.
Also, if the tailgate has been replaced with a newer one, the locking mechanism reverses, meaning when the car is locked the boot will be unlocked and vice-versa. Worth trying this first.

There is a very long thread about this here: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=58099
Basically, you can get in the back of the car from the rear, pop off the trim panel at the top, and then release the latch with a long screwdriver.
Your problem is likely to be either damaged wiring to the tailgate or the locking actuator itself.
In my case it was the actuator. I did strip & clean it but it failed again a little while later (it sort of seized in the locked position). I replaced it with another from the breakers and it's ok now.
Nor does my 2003 but I've seen 2000, 2001 and 2002 cars with it so it's worth a look.

Aaah yes - the wiring loom goes through the hinge arm on the N/S of the car and frays just inside the roof trim. Worth a look.
