Can't share audio roles as separate files

Please help! I need to send sound mixer the audio files on my project, and I cannot.

I can't share audio roles as separate files. Keep getting this message: "[filename] cannot be saved in the folder untitled folder because you don‘t have permission.To view or change permissions, select the item in Finder and choose File > Get Info."

I have gone through and assigned boom as one dialogue role, lav as another (I want him to have access to both), I have assigned roles to ambience, and I have music. But when I try to export them as .aiff files, Audio Only as separate files, I get that error message.

I am using the latest version of FCPX and I was able to export dialogue and voice over no problem just recently.

Thanks for your help.

The error message doesn't really have anything to do with roles, but with where it's being saved to, the drive, how t's connected, what it's permissions are, how it's formatted, and how much space is on it.

Thanks. I just mentioned that info as this is the first time I've gotten this message, and the first time I've tried sharing this many separate audio files, so it seemed related. I did try changing the save locations, and that didn't make a difference. There is ample space on both my iMac and the external drive...

It's formatted for a Mac. It's a USB 3.0 connection. The file sizes in total would only be about 450MB, so it doesn't make sense -- I have shared much larger master files to my desktop before with no problem. There is over 1T space on my external, and 500GB of space on my iMac HD. It's so aggravating! And when I try to change 'permissions' on the fcpx project file, by getting info (like the error tells me), there is nothing of that sort, other than having myself have
'read + write' privileges.

I have now just tried sharing each role separately, and it works. Something my computer didn't like about sharing all that audio as separate files! I figured it out when I tested sharing the full video, and it was no problem. Thanks for your help!
