Lightroom Classic does not have access to some standard folders

I keep getting this popping up all the time even though I have given LR full disk access (see attached screenshot). I can obviously just ignore the warning but considering I have given LR full disk access I am wondering what could be triggering it and what exactly is it trying to access that it can't?

Yeah, this kind of error message is not very useful. The most important standard folders for Lightroom Classic are these ones. Note this is the library folder inside your home folder, not the library folder on the root of your hard disk. It can be hidden

Did you click the link in the dialog? Full Disk Access does not mean Lightroom Classic can access every folder. A folder can still have restrictions.

Fair enough... but there is nothing that tells me which standard folder it is having an issue with for me to go fix it. And I have tried downloading and using the fix script as well...
