Program is unable to access directory

I am using syncthing, and am getting this error message: 2023-09-26 10:08:11: Error on folder "p7 Camera" (pixel_7_tw32-photos): stat /mnt/qnap/syncthing/p7/.stfolder: permission denied
Syncthing is running in a docker container. Docker is running as root. Here are the folder permissions:
drw-rwxr-- 2 ansible root 4.0K May 18 13:34 .stfolder
It should have the permission to access it. Why can't it access it?

I think that the permissions should be:

drwxrwxr-x

Would that also apply to the parent directories?

No, they need +x only (x for owner and group, maybe others; on a directory x means access).
