That will likely be a flatpak issue.  Flatpak packages are by default
sandboxed and it is up to the packager to specify what it is allowed to
access.  Likely some permission is missing from there.

Come to think of it that may well be the reason for the missing trace file,
if the app cannot access the specified folder.
