Yes, that is correct.  If the user selects a directory where they don't
have write access (usually available to Admins), they will get this error.

When the user selects a directory, we check if the directory is empty.  If
not, we throw a friendly error.  We could also try to write a very small
file to the selected directory and throw a friendly error if we are unable
to write the file.
