As this thread is as year old, lease open a new thread and explain the issue you are having. Let us know what

- platform you are running and OS release
- what version of NR and node.js (see node-red startup log)
- export your flow and attach it to a reply (see [this thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) first)

also - EACCES means the user running node-red does not have permission to access the file specified.
