Can't save, open or backup files to Backup Drive (MAC) :: Adacity 3.3.3

[CodingGal]

I noticed I can’t SAVE or SAVE AS or BACKUP file on my backup drive. It has plenty of space and I can save other files to it.

To troubleshoot:

1. I saved the project locally on my native HD as was able to open it.
2. Then I copied the same files to my (backup drive) BD and tried to re-open and got the dreaded: Failed to open database file and shows my HD volume string.
3. I can’t directly save any files to my BD, which is peculiar.

Any help would be appreciated.
