I'm running two osxphotos commands one after the other as follows:

/usr/local/bin/osxphotos export /Volumes/ExternalData/Users/odedia/Pictures/OSXPhotos/Originals  --load-config /Volumes/ExternalData/Users/odedia/Pictures/OSXPhotos/Toml/osxphotos-originals.toml >> /tmp/output.txt

/usr/local/bin/osxphotos export /Volumes/ExternalData/Users/odedia/Pictures/OSXPhotos/MobileLibrary  --load-config /Volumes/ExternalData/Users/odedia/Pictures/OSXPhotos/Toml/osxphotos-mobile.toml >> /tmp/output.txt

This is osxphotos-originals.toml:

[export]
cleanup = true
directory = "{created.year}/{created.year}-{created.mm}-{created.dd}"
download_missing = true
export_aae = false
keyword_template = [ "{label}", "{keyword}", "{person}", "{album?album:{folder_album}}", "{favorite?Favorite,}",]
replace_keywords = true
retry = 1
sidecar = [ "xmp",]
skip_edited = true
update = true
use_photokit = true
verbose = 0

And this is osxphotos-mobile.toml:

[export]
cleanup = true
convert_to_jpeg = true
db = "/Volumes/ExternalData/Users/odedia/Pictures/Photo Library.photoslibrary"
directory = "{created.year}/{created.year}-{created.mm}-{created.dd}"
download_missing = true
edited_suffix = ""
keyword_template = [ "{label}", "{keyword}", "{person}",]
replace_keywords = true
retry = 0
sidecar = [ "xmp",]
skip_original_if_edited = true
skip_raw = true
tmpdir = "/Volumes/ExternalData/Users/odedia/Pictures/OSXPhotos/TempDir"
update = true
use_photokit = true

The execution of the originals script seems to go by fine.
For some reason, I'm failing with permission denied for a specific folder during the second execution for the mobile export:

Did you look a the the path in question with Finder? What do the permissions say? This sounds like it's an OS permission issue, not an OSXPhotos issue. If the permissions appear to be correct (maybe try copying the file manually from the command line in Terminal to verify) then I'll see if there's some debugging I can suggest.

Thanks. Seems like it's indeed my mistake.

I thought I checked it already, but I was foolish enough to forget quotations marks which is required due to the space in /Photo Library.photoslibrary.

The file is there but its permissions is set to userrw only. Most files are with full permissions, while newer onces are either
user rw only or rw for user+read for all.

Is there a standard recommended permissions for Apple Photos? Does Apple Photos have a "repair permissions" process like the old iPhoto?

I don't know of a specific repair permissions option for Photos outside of the full repair Photos library but I don't think you need to do that. I suspect it's an issue with permissions on the target volume.

My permissions look the same:

As long as user can read you should be able to copy the files. Does the target destination have permissions set correctly?

Some of the files in the target folder 2024-04-19 were set as root:staff while others were set as odedia:staff. I ran a chown and now I'm running the export again.

Did you accidentally run an export under sudo?

Possibly, I’ve been playing with getting a LaunchDaemon to work using several scenarios.
