It's very strange.
My Samsung Galaxy Tab S5E has Android 11 as well.
But on that, I can add an extra sd card and format it as "portable" or "removable storage".
I'm able to install apps on it - as well as add my own files/folders.
But on my Hisense 55U68K with Android TV 11 (with Google TV interface)...
The drive formatted as "portable" or "removable storage" never appears as an option for installing apps.
I even enabled the Developer Mode option to force installation to external - but even that doesn't work on Android TV 11.
I created a topic about this, but one really seems to know why this happens with Android TV operating system:
Can we not move apps to drives formatted as "removable storage"? : AndroidTV (reddit.com)
My theory now is that if Kodi does not get excessive in size...what I might try is moving it to internal drive and using your program to back it up. Then I move it back to external "adopted storage" drive after the backup/restore process is complete.
If I notice Kodi cannot be backed up even when it's on the internal drive...then I will know that something is wrong in the way ADBLink interacts with my TV.
