error logs

Hello, I have created a loop device to store my wineprefixes in. However, wine
does not work with it.

How I created it :

```
dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.img bs=100M count=50
udisksctl loop-setup -f loop.img
```

Then formatted it as NTFS using gnome-disks.

It is properly detected as NTFS, I can copy-paste files in GNOME Files to and
from the mounted loop device. And yet wine apparently cannot create a
wineprefix on it.

wine --version returns 9.0 (Staging).

I checked the permissions for the loopdevice/mounted partition and it was fine
too.
Do note that I am running wine inside of a toolbox container, but just to rule
out that this wasn't a Wine 9 or toolbox container issue, I downloaded
org.winehq.Wine stable 23.08 from flathub, gave it --filesystem=host
permission, changed the envvar for WINEPREFIX to /run/media/$USER/USBa and it
gave me the same exact error, USBa is a physical USB drive formatted as exFAT.
