"permission denied" messages suggest there is a problem with ownership/permissions settings on one or more directories of the file system on the USB drive. Even a sudo'er might have to change the settings before being able to write to an affected directory.
It seems your path down to the recalcitrant "Amiga directory" might be something like
/media/<uuid>/media/music/Amiga
where <uuid> is my shorthand for your 7b952e33-7045-4155-9865-e7962f56faa4
so how about posting the output of ls -la at the intervening levels
ls -la /media
ls -la /media/<uuid>
ls -la /media/<uuid>/media
ls -la /media/<uuid>/media/music
...
using the actual uuid, of course, and stopping at the directory containing the "Amiga directory".
Note: I did not make this a single recursive command as I did in my earlier example because ISTR you mentioned a 4TB USB drive. No need to list out all those files!
