Hi Sean,
This is expected for a managed path, as a user, we are not supposed to directly access paths that are managed by UC.
Hope you are able to access this KB with detailed info - https://kb.databricks.com/unity-catalog/invalid_parameter_valuelocation_overlap-overlaps-with-manage...
Thanks!

Adding some tips...
It seems that you have created a metastore with root path definition (metastore-level managed storage). If you're planning to deploy a multi-workspace environment (Development, QA and Production), I strongly recommend you to change this configuration to Catalog-level storage.
Since in general those kind of environments should be isolated, you will have tough days as soon as it gets bigger when using metastore-level storage.

Hi @gmiguel ,
Thank you for the advice.
Is this a setting when creating the metastore, or do I simply not specify an external location for metastore and only do so for catalogs?
Thanks,
Sean

Simply do not specify a location during metastore creation. Do it at catalog level and schema level (optional).
