FCP library won't open

After the last update of MACOS 12.3.1 and FCP 10.6.2 several of my FCP libraries won't open. They are all on an external drive. The error code says the library has to be read-write and it is.

I have tried the following.

disconnecting the drive, turning off the drive, shutting down my computer, trying with a different user,

changing permissions in the library and rebooting with the new permission, then changing it again to read-write and reboot. I have copied the library to another drive that has a library that I can open and that didn't work. I reset all my preferences on FCP. The only thing I have not done is uninstall FCP and reinstall.


It doesn't make sense that I can open other libraries on other drives if this were an FCP problem.


This is a large library 2.6TB if that makes any difference.


Any suggestions?

iMac 27″, OS X 10.11
