Hugo: Permission error when using Hugo (via Snap, Ubuntu) on encrypted drive

[begincalendar]

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, using a Veracrypt file-based encrypted drive and have installed Hugo via Snap.

If I clone this repository into a non-encrypted part of the file system (e.g. /home/me/) and run hugo inside the examples/blog/ directory (of this repository), everything works as expected.

If I copy examples/blog/ into a directory within the encrypted mounted drive (e.g. /media/veracrypt1/), then I get this error message when I try to run hugo:

Error: Unable to locate Config file. Perhaps you need to create a new site.
       Run `hugo help new` for details. (open /media/veracrypt1/blog/config.toml: permission denied)

...with an exit code: 255.

I tried using strace when running hugo, but I can't see any calls to open() for the config file, which is odd to me (but then I'm not familiar with Golang).

Removed the hugo Snap, installed hugo via the latest .deb build and the problem is gone.

I recall having similar file system issues with an unrelated Snap, so I guess the issue lies there.

Just commenting that what @begincalendar did worked for me too. Thanks dude!
