The problem is solved, and CC is writing normally to the card now. The problem was a combination of how settings were imported into my new phone by CC and my failure to properly recognize which paths could be written to.
Long story:
When I set up my new phone with CC, I merely exported CC settings from one of my Nook tablets into the new device. Since I always set up the destination folders for books on the card the same way in all my devices, I just figured I could check “Save storage folder locations” and everything would come out on the other side fine. But this is what happened:
Folder location exported from Nook tablet …
/storage/sdcard1/My Files/CC/Books
Now here’s the folder location as imported into the new LG phone …
/mnt/ext_sdcard/My Files/CC/Books
That exact file path imported into the phone doesn’t exist in any of my Android phones, which I didn’t notice at the time. And when I saw “mnt” I just assumed it was the correct starting point to get to the external card. I can partially navigate to the external card through “mnt” but I have to go through “media_rw” first and that folder can’t be accessed via CC, even if rooted.
After I tried reformatting the card and was again met with the error messages, I realized it wasn’t the formatting at issue and took a closer look at the file paths. Only then did I realize the imported file path was totally different than the proper one on my device and that I had to go through “storage” instead.
The correct path on my LG phone is:
/storage/external_SD/My Files/CC/Books
That’s the file path entry point rooted KitKats have to use for the external card. I also have a rooted LG phone on Lollipop and CC is going through “storage” as well. So you may want to change the formula in CC so that “mnt” is not used in the future when converting SD card file paths from one device to another, as it might confuse someone else.
At any rate, all is well now.
