Have you verified that the file is actually present and has -r
permissions?  You could be getting the access error on any directory
along the path (although the .vbox file is by far the most likely).

Try 

    find /media/onk-01/kubuntu_data/Current/home/onk-01 -name 'WIN 11.vbox'

If that gives the right answer (and only the right answer!), then

    find /media/onk-01/kubuntu_data/Current/home/onk-01 -name 'WIN 11.vbox'
         -exec sudo chmod 777 -R '{}' ';'

(all on one line) should work.  (It probably wouldn't hurt if there a
multiple results to the initial 'find' command, but this looks like a
situation where "an excess of caution" is a good idea.)
