Hello again Mats,
You might probably know this already, but MacOS has been quite strict as of
late on installing files that are not cleared of “security” issues as perceived
by the MacOS. My second prediction is that unpacking the files alone will not
get the OS recognized that LilyPond is perfectly innocuous to run on your
computer. In that case, once you unpack the downloaded LilyPond tarball and
place the folder to where you would usually place, you may wish to run the
following command on Terminal in order to remove the quarantine attributes:
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine [the address of the LilyPond folder]
Replace [the address of the LilyPond folder] with the pathname of the LilyPond
folder. Usually, dragging and dropping the folder icon from Finder window onto
the Terminal window will have the pathname show up. Be sure that there is a
space between “quarantine” and the address.
That is the method in order to run some software programs or plug-ins, such as
Portable:https://portacle.github.io/ (see under How to Get It —> Mac OS X)
I hope something works out!

Yes, I'm aware of this, though I usually solves it through System Preferences
(I don't run from the root account - hmm, that could be something to try to get
more info).
But as you can see from the logs Lilypond itself works fine, the problem comes
when it's about to create the output file.
