Thanks Tim!

Problem solved. 

I did as you suggest and added Pharo.app (and Squeak*.app) to the "Files and 
Folders” and tried again.
That resolved the primary issue but when opening File Browser I got a different 
exception referring to /.VolumeIcon.icns not being able to be opened.
The volume was my boot partition and in Catalina that is a readonly filesystem.
I looked at that file with ls and file commands, and it turns out that it was a 
broken link to the same file in the contained Data volume.
The destination does not exist:  
[graphe:/Volumes/Graphe6] Michael% file .VolumeIcon.icns
.VolumeIcon.icns: broken symbolic link to System/Volumes/Data/.VolumeIcon.icns

So, I created an empty file there:

[graphe:/Volumes/Graphe6] Michael% sudo touch .VolumeIcon.icns

And rechecked the link:

[graphe:/Volumes/Graphe6] Michael% file .VolumeIcon.icns
.VolumeIcon.icns: empty


File Browser now opens and lets me navigate around.  

All is well.
