SOLVED
Sorry, in this Thread are the solve.

I've a P6800 with a SanDisk Ultra 32GB SD card.
Running android 4.0.4, build IMM76D.XXLQ2, NOT Rooted.
I'm unable to write to the SD card at all, not even with the stock file manager or other free file managers in the market.
Unable to copy files to the SDCard using data cable as well, copying to device memory works fine.
Only error I see is "Write operation failed" or something similar. Very little detail.
SDCard is formatted as FAT32, and I can write to it using a memory card reader.
Certain threads speaks of adding a new line in 'platform.xml' file, to add group 'media_rw' group for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, but I have that group already in the platform.xml.

Any idea on how to solve this?
your sdcard might be damage... do you have any other sd to test...

No Sir, I don't have a micro SD card. If it's damaged, would it be possible for me to write to it using a card reader?
be casual... just dont call me sir... XD hahaha
one of my card acting like that until i reformat it. save the files to your pc and reformat the card. dont do the quick format in windows... just try the normal format option.

How did you edit that file if you are not rooted. It has likely not updated. Check it! Also make sure there are no typing errors.
Make sure your system is in RW mode so the changes are saved. Let us know your outcome.
Cheers
so I've never run into this before and I've been modding smart phones since they were invented, so I'm sure someone else will run into the same issue, thought I'd share the answer:
Edit the file at:
system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
to add <group gid="media_rw" /> in the following location like so:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" /> </permission>
Save the file or copy it back to the original location overwriting the original and reboot the phone, TiBu will now show folders on the external SD card as writable.
This is a general problem for all kitkat devices on 4.4.2 as Google butchered sd permissions. I had this same issue with my S4.
If you're rooted running xposed, you can download the module "Kitkat SD card full access". This will fix writing to the SD card. (For titanium, camera, etc.)

I just came over to an LG G3 from a Note 3, which I had upgraded to KitKat. Nothing on the Note 3 (Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc) would write to the external SD card. On my G3, they all write to the SD card without any problem whatsoever; I can use Root Explorer to rename files, for example. and I couldn't do that on my Note 3. I did nothing to the G3 except root it, and install/change my system font (oh, I installed G3 TweaksBox too, but had write access to the SD card prior to that).
Anyone know why I have write access to the external SD card on the G3, when I didn't on my Note 3? I thought this was a problem across all KitKat devices.
I'm just curious as to why this might be, that's all.
Thanks,
Dennis

Weird. I had to install sdcard fix from the play store to get access from third party apps.

It does not do it for me. I have tried
a) SDfix from the store
b) This module
c) Another Xposed module (Handle SD storage)
So far they all fix the SD card access for things like camera but TiBu stubbornly refuses to budge.

I don't mean to grave dig but I'm having the exact same issue as you. I've tried the manual fix where you edit platform.xml via a root explorer and the SDfix apps from the store. Still no luck. TiBu still says insufficient storage and no folder write permisssions.

Go to Settings/Apps/Titanium Backup and clear cache. Open TB, select menu/preferences/backup folder location and press detect!. With the manual fix or apps, TB should now detect the external SD card.

It can detect the external SD card, it just can't write to it. Since it can't write to it, whenever I try to perform any batch action, an "insufficient storage" error comes up. I've attached a screenshot.

Use the back key to jump to external SD card. See pic below. You want sdcard1. Press on sdcard1 to select. Storage/emulate is internal sdcard.

Ok, I think you must be confused with what I'm trying to say; TiBu recognizes the external SD card, but cannot write to it because of the lack of the permission. This is an issue in KitKat, as I've said I've tried the manual & app fix but TiBu won't recognize the fix. Since it cannot write to the SD card, it returns on a "insufficient storage" error on any batch action that I perform...

I'm not confused, you are. I'll let someone else help you. Your screen print shows you are using the internal sdcard. Is your external sdcard write locked?

Yes my external SDcard write permissions are locked. I've added the permission to platform.xml by doing this:
The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows:
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.

but it still doesn't work. I've also tried patch apps like the SD KitKat fixer which was successful BUT TiBu does not recognize the changes. My platform file has the permission present yet TiBu refuses to recognize it. Sorry for being so blatant, I'm just extremely frustrated.

Did you reboot the device after modifying platform.xml?

in your picture it clearly does NOT recognize the external SD since 'external_SD' is not listed under /storage
the problem isn't the permissions fix, the problem is the phone doesn't see your sd card
On my Sony Xperia Z3 I have an application that stores its data on "/storage/emulated/0/Voxx". I would like to move the "Voxx" folder onto the SD Card (to save space on the phone's memory). To do that, I need to change the directory within the application itself.
The thing is that I don't know what would be the righ path to the sd card. Could anyone suggest me how should the new directory look like?
Thank you.

the 3rd party app cannot store data in external memory card.
unless root your phone and use some merge folder app or app2sdcard to do that.
:good:

Not sure how you're going to make the App change the directory (if there's no option), but the path would be /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/%APP_NAME%, where %APP_NAME%, well, is the name of your App.
I think you need to create simlinks like some apps do to allow what you want, it requires root. Just wait for Lollipop as Google allows it to do what you asked.
Thank you, sxtester!
I copied the application's "voxx" folder from internal memory onto the sdcard and, within the application, I changed the directory from "/storage/emulated/0/voxx" to "/storage/sdcard1/voxx".
I am posting a new, interesting task...you may want to take a look...

First I explain that I test 2 different SD cards and I formated it from phone.
I can use for photos and videos, Camera software can write on it without problem. My Files can write and delete too.
The problem is certain apps can't write on SD with an error message that said "SD isn't writable. AppMonsterPro can't write on it. FileSync that I use to backup daily photos, docs,... can't write on it. Movistar + app (streaming that you can save for later) can't write on it.
I really desesperate and I don't know how to solve it. Any help is welcome.
Just a thought, have you given these apps permission to write to the SD card?

Really they haven't this option
Some apps, for example Root Explorer, first time that you try to write on SD you have to give permission or go to SD and select so framework authorice it.
I was thinking more in the line of going to app settings and try setting it there.
