surprisingly I can no longer copy or move between 2 windows with Dolphin. With Krusader it works.
it’s not that.
There are folders in the same folder hierarchy that I can copy/move to. But I didn’t find any differences in the permissions for the folders.
How are you trying to move the files? Are you dragging-and-dropping, or are you cutting (Ctrl-X) & pasting (Ctrl-V)?
Also, when you state that you are moving the files between dolphin windows, do you mean 2 separate instances of dolphin, 2 different tabs in the same dolphin window, or are you using the Split View?
I just successfully moved files between directories located on different drives using all of the above scenarios.
I guess ownership as well? 
What about the folders that you want to move them to? Permissions in UNIX are a lot more complex than what you might think. 
Can you please specify exactly which directory hierarchy you refer to? The presumption is that source and destination are within your User directories – is that the case, or is it a foreign hierarchy such as a network location or directories on another partition?
System info?
Are you using BTRFS?
Indeed!

Note that the output produced by this command is privacy-filtered.
Please also remember to use proper code formatting as this makes it much easier to read on the Forum:
[Mini How-To] format code or command output
Select and copy all the text in the Terminal window, then paste the output in between two lines containing three backticks ``` or three tildes ~~~
Or:
Copy & paste, then highlight the pasted text and click the </> button at the top of the reply window (easier for smaller outputs).
Yes, it is

I don’t have this problem’s with my KDE System’s.
Could it be related to Encryption? Try to copy+paste or drag and drop in different area’s
and find out whats going on.
