Storage pool permissions in KVM virtual machine manager

I've setup virtualization with the ujust command, and installed the flatplak Virtual Machine Manager.
Everything seems to be working ok, I can create and run new VM's, using the default storage pool in /var/lib/libvirt/images

I've added a 2nd disk drive /mnt/data, and a directory kvm_pool. In Flatseal for VMM I've added /mnt/data/kvm_pool

Then in VMM I created a new storage pool dir at /mnt/data/kvm_pool (this didnt work until I added the path in Flatseal)
I can create a new qcow2 volume, however now, when I create a new VM to use the new volume I get a permission error:

Unable to complete install: 'Cannot access storage file '/var/mnt/data/kvm_pool/test.qcow2' (as uid:107, gid:107): Permission denied'

Can anyone help?
