What are permissions on?:

/mnt/provigo-borg/sauve-bioinfo::bioinfo-2017-04-03

I generally try to stay away from running as root for user applications. 
In my case my repos are in directories accessible by my user name 
(aklaver) and the mount point I use is in my user directory. I run borg 
as the aklaver user.
