I think you have circular symbolic links (or possibly just a
poorly-placed link to a folder). [1] Unfortunately, I am not sure how
to examine the issue unless you have basic tools like 'find'
available.

Perhaps you can run the absolute path from the store.

    find /run/current-system/ -follow -printf ""

Kind regards
