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
