Realizing this issue is solved, I thought it might be helpful for
future Xubuntu Virutal Machine use...

Typing sudo thunar in a terminal window will launch the file manager
(Thunar) in root mode, which will allow copying of files to any
directory without modifying the permissions. Once Thunar is in root
mode, however, it is also possible to change permissions by right
clicking on a directory or file, left clicking properties, and left
clicking the permissions tab.  Therefore it is possible to change
permissions via the GUI.
