Titanium Backup: "Batch backup interrupted: insufficient free storage space"

I was using TB without issues until SuperSu (Pro) updated to version 2.00. Now TB gives me constantly the "insufficient free storage" error. I have disabled Dropbox (and other) online backup, I have uninstalled/installed the app several times (including the Pro license).

My ROM is SlimRom 4.4.3 v5.9 (latest weekly). Other root apps are working ok. I want to save to external sdcard: /extSdCard/TitaniumBackup
SuperSu (Pro) latest version 2.00.
Of course I have free space (more than 2Gb).

I did everything but the solution was provided by TB itself when it gave an error message at startup. Just uncheck the mount namespace separation option in supersu. Done.

This worked for me just now.

Thanks.

Thanks, That Worked

Yup, immediately worked for me as well. Thanks!
Come to think of it, there is a popup dialog when starting TB warning about Supersu & Mount Namespace. Should have realized it then

Just go to supersu setting and uncheck "mount namespace separation" & restart your device

"Reboot" was the key

Hi everywhere, firstly thanks for the great solutions in the thread though I'm sorry to say they did not work. I was about to try my final option of creating a folder with TB on the internal memory. I am running cm13 for the nook HD +. Anyway think I may have found an alternative solution... I also found that the setting in SuperSU didn't make any difference.

Solution:
Go to Preferences, backup folder location. At the top it says Storage provider, click to change and I selected Document Provider. The middle one for android 5.0+ then select the backup folder on your sdcard. I the reloaded the application from TB. Now all is fixed. It occoutred to me due to having to manually allow apps like solid explorer to access it in this manner.

I suggest you try this solution first as it just so simple, can't believe it wasn't in the thread (or maybe I just missed it)
If this helps please hits thanks

Thanks again for all the info n solutions I tried tho

For Android 5+ / Marshmallow (I bolded the extract of the solution):

On mine (Verizon LG G4), I had to do go to TiBu -> Menu -> Preferences -> Backup folder location -> Storage provider (click to change)
From there, choose DocumentProvider and choose the root directory of your SD card. That granted TiBu access to the SD card. I was able to choose my old backup directory and successfully backup my apps.

Now I have a new problem. None of my uninstalled backups are restorable. Their app icon doesn't show and there is no way to restore them..just their package name crossed out.

Just had the same issue in MM. Never had this problem B4. Also USB connection was lost had been doing TWRP backups with it.

Same issue on LG V10 running debloated stock rom, "Use The Current Folder" option is greyed out and I can't get it sorted out when using the "DocumentProvider storage" option.

*Sorted it Out*
You have to select the folder one level above the actual backup folder then in the select backup screen click the Titanium Backup folder.
