I had the same problem today with the latest DSM version so I figured that this is still a current problem. I hope that by documenting what I found today will help other people who like me are not comfortable using a Telnet interface. It seems - I stress " seems" - that there is a rights problem that has crept into DSM. I am a use not an IT professional. Folders I created many months ago work, but recent folders don't. But how to access all the hidden files that File Station doesn't give access to? Searching further on the internet I came across this link:- http://www.wijngaard.org/get-access-to-synologys-filesystem/ I downloaded WinSCP from http://winscp.net/eng/download.php I followed the instruction exactly,. including using "root" and my admin password and was successful in getting the dual-pane file explorer interface on my PC. Browsing to the files that were created some months ago showed that they had rwxr-xr-x or rwxrwxrwx Rights, but the ones I had created recently were "---------" even though they seem to be accessible with File Station. Right mouse clicking on the folder I had been trying to use with BitTorrent Sync which showed " --------" gave me a "Properties" choice and when this opened I was given the possibility to check boxes to change the "Rights" I checked all the boxes and after a few seconds the GUI came back to show the rights had now been changed to "rwxrwxrwx". Returning to BitTorrent Sync now I had no error message when I chose this folder to use for synchronizing. A big thanks to Richard at wijngaard.org for his detailed explanation on how to access the file properties on a Synology and the guys at WinSCP for their great app. ... and I hope that this long explanation helps some other users of Synology and BitTorrent Sync if they face the same " don't have permissions to write to the selected folder" , error.
