Upon copying the files, the new files have quotes around the entire filename including the flac extension. Wish I remembered what I'd done to address it last time or if I needed to. I might need some messy filename translation from spaces to underscores. I may have searched the wrong terms but if anyone knows a quick fix or thread, let me know.
No, spaces in the filenames aren't a problem.
More likely, it's a permissions problem. Quoting from the MPD documentation

Here's what Linux says about the SDCARD on one of my players:

Since you say you copied from a Mac you likely have a bunch of MacOS crapola too. I don't have a Mac and so won't comment but this been addressed a number of times in this forum.
