Cannot open directory error on Mac Tahoe 26.2
Backing up to a portable drive I get this message:
Cannot open directory "/Volumes/iTunes Backup/DocumentRevisions-V100"
EACCES: Permission denied [opendir]|
FFSync has permission to access the whole drive. The error seems to point to an invisible file on the portable drive.

Disk icon changes: MacOS
