VMWare/Vcenter/ESX Error *.vmx acces denied

Hello,

I have a FAS2552 with Ontap 9.8

SVM for NFS.

Auth: Unix System

Hosts have Root acces (Super user)

Tested (SSH/ESX) by creating a folder and file on the NFS datastore

I can Copy a vm to the datastore, register VM and i can start it.

I cannot do a storage migration from other NFS store (QNAP): Unable to load configuration file *VMX 13 (Permission denied).

I cannot create a clone from other VM. Same error.

And i cannot create a new VM, also with the same error.

It looks like FP Policy, but when this is what i see when i check it:

SCL01::> vserver fpolicy show
This table is currently empty.

Could there be something else blocking it?
