I'm not sure if this is it, I've only had a few months of experience with OS versions that have this "full disk access" thing, but it seems like if you authorize a binary to do something, and then update the binary (for example in this case with "sudo port upgrade outdated"), then the authorization goes away even though the binary is still listed as authorized in System Preferences. Can you try removing the item's authorization in System Preferences and then re-adding it? > The behavior has also seen some changes under different OS versions. What are > you using?

Re: catalina full disk access
This isn’t specific to MacPorts, but is a more general issue with recent versions of macOS and “Full Disk Access”. What I’ve found is that any binaries you add to Full Disk Access won’t actually be authorized. Authorized applications seem to need a bundle identifier. The behavior has also seen some changes under different OS versions. What are you using? In theory, you should be able to create a wrapper application with Platypus [1]. But, I couldn’t get Platypus to work and had to create a Menu Bar application. It may be that the binary needs to be found within the app bundle?
