Why do I receive an error regarding that the storage metadata file does not exist or is corrupt?

Why do I receive the following error when validating my Parallel Computing Cluster profile or when running a sample job:

Error using distcomp.filestorage/pGetConstructorsFromMetadata (line 22)

The storage metadata file does not exist or is corrupt.

This error generally implies that the user who is submitting the job does not have the necessary permissions to write to the remote job storage location.  Please verify that the user who is submitting the job from the MATLAB client has read and write permissions on the cluster headnode location specified in the Parallel Computing profile.  This error can also occur if the user does not have read and write permissions to the local job storage location that is specified in the Parallel Computing profile.
