Has anyone been able to create a local casper replica on an external thunderbolt drive? I have a brand spankin'new Elgato drive and I can only get it to error out so far.

Are you able to create folders at the root of the external drive without authenticating? Had similar errors until I granted the logged in account full read/right permissions to the root of the drive.
