Yes, it is a permissions issue. The app must be authorized to access the Desktop area.

Sorry folks,

back in December, a few users wrote me about problems that they were
having when opening files on their Macs; one of them sent me the attached
screenshot. Apparently, the gretl app has no access to the Desktop.

At the time, I was busy with other stuff but then it completely slipped my
mind. I'm no mac user, so I really can't say what's going on and if the
problem is still there. I tried to search the list for similar problems
but found nothing. Any hints?
