I don't think that was the question.  If you note at the end of his
message, he gives the command invocation, which included that string in
--prunepaths.  That is, it's not the "permission denied" that's raising
issues, but rather that the exact string passed to --prunepaths is still
being searched.  (I believe he escaped the space characters but I could
be misremembering.)

Likewise for some of the other paths in the report.  They should already
be discarded via --prunepaths, but they're being searched anyhow,
producing various secondary errors.
