My iTunes library is on an external drive and since I moved it there, I am unable to import CD's to my library. As soon as I try and import a CD, I get an error:
"The required folder cannot be found"

I know this is normally because of permissions, but I have created the folder for the artist and album, chmod 777 it and still get the same error.

My current workaround is as follow
- Change the location of my library to the default location
- import the CD
- copy files manually to the external drive into the correct folder
- change the location of the library to the external drive again
- update each song with the correct location


I am on Mac OS 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.1 - both latest versions. Any idea why this is happening or a way to get this to work properly?
