Please follow:
https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/man.html#REPORTING-BUGS

I suspect the problem is related to your environment, so also follow
the part mentioning VirtualBox.

In particular: I suspect you are doing something with /mnt/l that you
are not telling us, and we need to know if that has any effect on the
outcome.

You need to assume that I am sitting with a completely blank computer
with no OS, and that you have to show me how to reproduce the error.
So please follow the reporting procedure strictly.
