Details:

So I upgraded my Mac to Catalina over the weekend, and since the upgrade I
cannot access the directories with my Octave files.

For example:
>> cd 'Desktop'
warning: load_path: .: Operation not permitted
error: cd: unable to find current directory
error: cd: unable to find current directory

and when I try to change the directory using the application file browser (my
files are in a folder on my Desktop) I get:

>> QKqueueFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: open: Operation not permitted
Warning: QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths:
/Users/jamahlanderson/Desktop/Machine Learning
error: unable to find current directory
error: unable to find current directory
error: unhandled execution exception -- trying to return to prompt

This was never a problem before Catalina. Have others experienced this? Any
suggestions other than downgrading my OS? I am running GNU Octave 3.8.0. My
Mac (MacBook Pro Retina) is running Catalina 10.15.
