Hello All,
Since kitkat 4.4.2 was released on the Galaxy Note 3, many users were unable to write files to the External SD Card. Below is a simple fix for rooted users on the Galaxy Note 3 N9005 ( International Snapdragon Variant).
**Please be advised that I have only tested this on my personal N9005. However, you are free to test it on your own devices at your own risk!! **
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart.
Attached is a copy of my platform.xml.
☆☆☆I have tested and can confirm following these directions to the letter on a rooted device, does solve the problem on the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 - SM-P900. I'm now able to write & save to my Sandisk 64gb HS SD card without any problems at all!☆☆☆
Instructions are below in red text. You must be rooted & follow them exactly!

My question is this ( I know what board this is ) but nobody has an issue rooting even if it means no warranty?

Rooting means Knox = 1 why would I want to throw out my warranty on a device I paid $750 for? That is an awful big risk
3. means nothing to people that never done this "Add an additional group definition for this permission", really and how do you do that?

Maybe I should just man up, use chainfire and call it a day, but step 3 still seem vague to me, I think the original thread for this fix is on the Note 2 forum and I they have a picture what the file should look like after it has been edited.

I guess with all the Smartphones and Tablets I owned, ask myself how many times did I actually claim Warranty?

There's a new apk from tliebeck fixing the sd card issue.
I tried it on my S4 I337M and will try it on my N900 tonigh. You can take a look to this apk here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51178053
You need a rooted device and don't forget to reboot after.
I have not rooted and have a note pro 12.2 Wi-Fi-only 64gb model and do NOT have any issues with writing to or deleting from an external sd card (fat32 64gb U1 official Samsung card)
I'm curious as to why I am not having this problem while others are...
my firmware is NAE
