"illegal operation on directory, read" error on sync if base folder is "/"

[rbennett00]

When I set my base folder to "/", I get the error message Readwise: error while writing Readwise Syncs.md: Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read. It looks like the plugin is creating an empty directory called Readwise Syncs.md in the root folder instead of a file. The highlights do synch, so it's really just the synch log that's failing.
