Thanks Mark, It is a fairly basic debug requirement to read and write test files to legitimate locations which, surely, includes the removable (secondary external) sdcard? Only deal with production handsets - so rooting not an option. To repeat it is possible to cd to /mnt/extSdCard (the removable sdcard on Galaxy S3) and read files. Just can't write there.
