tmll@kodi:~/Media$ ls -la

drwxrwxr-x 5 tmll tmll 4096 May 23 14:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 tmll tmll 4096 May 24 17:48 ..

no, I not use substitutions.

My advancedsettings.xml

Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <useddsfanart>true</useddsfanart>
  <cputempcommand>cputemp</cputempcommand>
  <gputempcommand>gputemp</gputempcommand>
  <samba>
    <clienttimeout>30</clienttimeout>
  </samba>
  <network>
    <disableipv6>true</disableipv6>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

For example I put my pictures in /home/tmll/Media/FOTY folder and add pictures source from "Home folder".

One profile (Master user), no locks.

Did you change any permissions along the way... ?

or groups xbmc
or even groups tmll

It's a known bug. Go back into master lock, enable it, then it will show file deletion being locked. It's not actually locked, but the setting is toggled, and the "allow deletion" setting is incorrectly reading it. Just toggle the setting for files, then you can turn master lock off again.
