Hi,
I found a solution that worked, which was recommended on the "macOS Catalina"
forum at discussions.apple.com :
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251027260?answerId=252097327022
The solution is to give "Full Disk Access" to /bin/bash. [1]
But I don't know why it works, since I in fact use tcsh, and neither does the
person who offered the solution.
[1] /bin is hidden to us by OS X, so one needs to navigate to "Macintosh HD"
and then type "command+shift" plus the " . " symbol to make the directory
visible.
Best,
Ben
