Can you copy files to the USB drives manually, e.g. using cp at the
command line?
I would check permissions and ownerships of the directories in and
above the USB devices. Especially, check the mount permissions.
Are USB drives mounted by the same user? In bookworm udisks (used by
GUI) restricts access by default to the user who requested mount.
In the case of snap or flatpak sandboxing it may be a different kind of
permissions. Check desktop environment settings for application permissions.
Some years ago I noticed that Firefox from snap (Ubuntu) could not
access files from /usr/share/doc. Perhaps it was aimed to prevent
stealing some data (while making home directory availabe).
