I am having a problem where everytime I try to import photo/video files from my R6 via Lightroom, I get an error indicating the destination folder is not writeable or there is not enough free space (have tried various destination drives with same issue). Permissions are set to full control for all groups. Free space is near 1TB...so neither of these should be preventing the program from importing. This is growing incredibly frustrating.

Why are you showing permissions for System?

I stated that the permissions are the exact same for all users/groups in that list. I took the screenshot to show what is allowed on ALL those users listed, system is just the last one I had clicked on to review.

Persistent problems like this are often hardware related.
The permissions for the P:\ drive are probably irrelevant here. You need to show us the permissions for the exact EXACT EXACT destination folder specified in the Import dialog box. What folder is that?
In addition, 179 of the files you are trying to import "could not be found", I'm not sure what that means. Is it possible that your P:\ drive (if that's where the folder is that you are trying to import to) disconnects at times due to faulty cable or fault disk drive?

The permissions are set the exact same (full control) no matter what subfolder is selected. Furthermore, I can import my DJI Mini 2 and GoPro HERO10 files to these exact same P drive folders without issue. I can also directly copy the CR3 files from the SD card to the P drive THEN import to Lightroom, however as soon as I want to import the CR3 files from SD card via Lightroom to a folder within P drive, it faults. I do not believe this has anything to do with permissions or hardware, as this occurs on ALL SD cards used in my R6 when trying to import to ANY drive via Lightroom. I have seen other users on here with this same issue get told the same things with no end resolve... Also of note, I still have my old 6D and can import its CR2 files using these same SD cards to P drive folders via LR without the fault occurring. Something seems to be specifically bugged in CR3 file imports.

Perhaps you could answer the questions anyway. What folder are you trying to import into? Show us a screen ccapture of the Import dialogbox. Show us a screen capture of the permissions on that exact folder. Use the "Insert Photos" icon to include the screen captures in your reply.

Again, this sounds like a hardware issue somewhere. I don't see how this rules out hardware.

Here are screenshots showing source > destination and drive permissions for one of the specific subfolders the photos are being directed into. I have been fooling around with the issue all day and am still at a loss for what is causing the fault under the circumstance of importing CR3 type files from SD card.

From that screen capture of the import, it appears you are importing from the SD card when in the camera. What occurs if you try to import from the SD card in a card reader, not in the camera?

I am using a SanDisk card reader for importing...I have experimented with different cards, readers, imaging devices and copying files directly to various drives w/o going thru LR and it really seems to be a problem that only arises during the LR import operation under specific parameters...
