Despite your not the owner as root you can select it.
That is what you do wrong, selecting not you property :)

Gambas can't however read it while the active user is you.
It may not access the directory name, no right for.
The message is strictly right but misleading in the context
it occurs, you could select it without having th right.

You could change the whole gambas tree to group 'users' or 
give the whole tree read,write,execute access for everyone or
the best one, 
make a gambas directory in you home directory and copy the 
example tree to a bambas directory in your home directory
Re-assign the rights to user 'your_name' and group 'your_group'.
doing this as root. to prevent conflicts.
