I am owner of this directory with r/w access. Touching or creating a new file works without issues. I start Ardour as the same user.

The issue went away when I decided to delete ardour3_ui.conf. I don't know if I am able to reproduce the situation, so this one can be closed. I reopen the bug if the issue comes back.
