When attempting to back up my repository, just a backup of my home folder, through KopiaUI, I get the follow error:

This is my first time encountering this issue. Can anyone help me understand what is happening?

User running kopia does not have permission to read /home/.Trash-0: directory.

Probably the easiest solution is to exclude it.
