I’m in the process of moving to a new Mac. On the old Mac I was using MacPorts’ 
X11.app, and all was well. On the new Mac, when I’m in my home folder, I get 
this:

 

macq[20]% ls Documents/

ls: : Operation not permitted

 

But other subdirectories are ok, for example:

 

macq[24]% ls test/

./              ../             foo             test.r          test.r~

 

No problem in Terminal.app.

 

I guess there’s some shell environment inheritance issue here, but I don’t know 
how to track it down. More generally, how can I regain access to my Documents 
folder?

 

 

-- note --

I’m using XQuartz.app on the new Mac, but only because the X11.app that was 
migrated to the new machine doesn’t work.

Its error message is, “X11 cannot be opened because of a problem.” and “Check 
with the developer to make sure X11 works with this version of macOS. You may 
need to reinstall the application.“ But both machines are on the same OS 
version, 10.15.6.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!
