    Please help!

    It is not working for me! I'm getting the message "Operation not permitted" after hitting the return button.
    I have experienced this problem too, and after much searching I had an idea after reading Surfsage's post on Reddit (which bought me here).

    Surfsages' post mentioned 'Full Disk Access' in System Preferences. If you go in to System Preferences / Security & Privacy / Privacy tab, then click on 'Full Disk Access', and add the Terminal application (you'll have to unlock the padlock first). You should now find you're able to create the symbolic link using Terminal.  

    It worked for me and I'm currently backing up my iTunes account to an external HD. 

    Indeed.  You nailed it.  Thank you very much for batting this home, _Mat_!  Works like a charm.

    (I clearly need to update my frame of reference for the Application-centric world we have today).  :-)

    Cheers,
