The LG G Pad 2 with lollipop had write permissions for the directory for the group! Don't know why Marshmallow won't do the same; had read some problem with marshmallow & permissions on the external SD & will try to find the "fix" even tho the user did say he was using "su" from a terminal program.
Will try changing the chmod from a terminal program but may not work as I got a msg saying "su" wasn't available for lollipop.
Has anyone been successful with changing external SD directory for CC?

I am not sure what you are doing. It seems that you are manually creating folders on the SD card then expecting CC to use those folders. CC V5 does not allow direct external access (access by pathname) to the SD. It does not matter if your machine is rooted. If you are checking an option in CC then that option has an effect only on KitKat.
The procedure that works, and it works for lots and lots of people (52% of CC's users have Samsung devices), is to use CC's Formats and Folders setting to do the work. You will eventually see the Android Storage Access Framework dialog. That is where you create the folder, then select it.
If you are using CC to do the work and it is failing then I need to see a CC debug log. The process
is described here.
