Thanks for trying. I hadn' t actually checked that because this was a fresh install of both the OS and LR.

I see the problem now, thank you. I have my catalog and files on a USB RAID array and when I re-installed, I changed my home directory name. The catalog is specifying the original name. /Users/brucekorb doesn't exist.

*Sigh*. Thank you.

The /Users folder is not your Home directory! It is the parent folder of your home directory, where the home directories of all users are stored. Lightroom Classic cannot and should not write to this directory, even if it has full disk permissions.  Got to Preferences - Lightroom Sync, click on 'Choose...' and change the location for synced files to a folder that Lightroom is allowed to write to.
