Is the github repo current?  I see references in the forum to a version 2.0.4 but the version in the repo is 2.0.0 (in app/buid.gradle).

I'm not an android dev, but it appears that android 10 introduced new limitations that prevent one app from accessing another app's files, which is what the GoneMad reverse sync does. If that's the case, the requestLegacyExternalStorage  option would offer a short term workaround, but for android 11+ it would require GMMP to store the stats.xml in a different location.

I am working through a similar issue (also a recent refugee from monkey-land).  I suspect it's an Android permissions issue.  I'm running Android 10 on a Galaxy S9.

If I manually trigger a 'backup stats' from GMMP, that creates the stats.xml file; after that, attempting a reverse sync shows me the "backup stats succeeded" popup (indicating it was able to trigger GMMP's backup) but nothing is actually updated in MB.

If I go into the gmmp folder on my phone, and delete that stats.xml file, then I get the same EACCESS error as appears in your logs, and never see the "backup stats succeeded" message.  Looking at the source on github, this is because if the file doesn't exist, the app tries to create it before triggering the GMMP backup, and if the creation errors out it never gets as far as the triggering.  

So my guess is that the app can neither read nor write in the /gmmp/ folder.  App permissions shows it having permissions on "Storage" but perhaps there's some further nuance to the android permissions.
