I've run across this.

 

There is a note on the "learn more" page that "If you have Time Machine mounted on your system, the dialog may appear. It is advised to ignore it by selecting Don't show again." I believe "mounted on your system" probably refers to being in the process of a current backup; it could even refer to the filesystem doing its own snapshot work in the background. I'm not entirely sure.

 

But, basically, if you have already checked that Lightroom has the disk access it needs; you are not actually getting any problems other than this error message; and you use Time Machine... I'd recommend just saying "Don't show again." I have done this and not run into any issues.

'Mounted' means the Time Machine disk is connected and shown. Maybe this message might occur if you use Time Machine but did not choose to encrypt the backup.

Please post a screenshot of the message you get. There is no 'full disk warning' in MacOS. You can be asked to give Lightroom full disk access, but that would indeed be strange if you already did that. So maybe it's another warning about read & write permissions? There is a known issue where the destination of synced images is reset to the Users folder, which is off limits to Lightroom, even if it does have full disk access.

As to clarify/verify, can you post in a reply a screenshot of that.
