That is "The next thing I try".  I've been beating myself up using
quotation mark wrapping trying to find the recursive sweet spot that
fixes everything downstream.

You could try the following to see what directories / files would be changed:

sudo find /media/onk-01/kubuntu_data/Current/home/onk-01/VirtualBox\ VMs/ -ls

and check ownership and permissions. Before changing permissions if you have disk space you should take a back if you have capacity to do that.

If you are happy with the output of that you can run:
 
sudo find /media/onk-01/kubuntu_data/Current/home/onk-01/VirtualBox\ VMs/ -exec chmod 777 {} +
 
or
 
find /media/onk-01/kubuntu_data/Current/home/onk-01/VirtualBox\ VMs/ -print0 | sudo xargs -r0 chmod 777
 
again if you are comfortable changing all the files under that path to world readable / writeable / executable.
