This is a consequence of the read-only root filesystem in Catalina: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210650 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210650
Even with SIP disabled you can't do shit to that volume until you remount rw (at least, this was reported to work in betas, haven't seen anyone test the shipped OS).

- pram 7y agoThis isn't true, /usr/local is one of the writable firmlinked directories. How else would homebrew work?
- jldugger 7y agoHuh, I definitely have some moved files, and they're definitely from homebrew. But you're right, they're not from /usr/local. Perhaps the OP made the same mistaken assumptions of origin as I did?
