A couple of reasons that this might occur are

1.  the image is not in it's original location and Lightroom can't find it to export it

or

2. the permissions to where you want to export the file to won't allow you to write to that location.

Can you upload a screen shot of the library grid view with the image selected and both right and left panels showing?

Have you quit and reopened Lr since this issue showed up?

As a test, can you select the image and export it again to your local drive - you can delete it after.

I have the same Problem here the only folder that I can export as you say is my local drive! How I set permission for example to the desktop?

Click on "Show in Library". Does the image have an exclamation point icon or a question mark icon, as shown in Figure 2 here: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

If so, follow the directions given to fix the problem.

It won't have an exclamation mark if you have a smart preview for that image. A smart preview will allow you to edit the image, but you won't be able to export it if the original is missing.

You can try exporting as a DNG.

Is your Olympus on the list of supported cameras?

Cameras supported by Camera Raw
