Databricks 13.3 Runtime Unable to use Python OS library to access mounted GCP bucket

In Databricks 12.2, this Python code block lists out the contents of our ad_hoc folder in our mounted GCP bucket.

import os os.listdir('/dbfs/mnt/hlm/ad_hoc/')

For some reason in 13.3 this same code block throws a " No such file or directory" error.

I've discovered the cause of this issue. The path is functional, but what I'm actually running into is a restriction due to the cluster set to "Shared" access mode:

Cannot use R, RDD APIs, or clients that directly read the data from cloud storage, such as DBUtils.

Changing the cluster mode resolved the issue.
