Works totally fine on OSX Serria without any issue.

Worked fine for me. I did make the folder before trying it tho. So a
mkdir -p ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Screenshots might be needed on first run.

For the permissions maybe
chmod u+rw ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Screenshots helps?
