eleredef error exit code 256 repeatmodeler

Question

[sallen24]

I'm getting an error code every time I try to run RepeatModeler (64 bit). I've copied and pasted the output below. Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't find anything on eleredef.

/media/sf_Documents appears to be mounted as read-only, and the program is trying to create folders and files there, so is falling over.

[h.mon]

Or maybe /media/sf_Documents if a nfs folder, or formatted as fat32 or ntfs?
