The error code 13 gives the right hint "OS error code 13: Permission denied" but i agree that this is far from obvious

This trivial error (giving the wrong error message is an error) has not been corrected yet in the 5.x branch. I spent an awful long time scratching my head before noticing the error code. It should be unnecessary for more people to go in the wrong direction when their permissions are to blame
