I assume this is a typo, and the correct message is the
one from the subject:
Can't open /dev/fd0.720: Permission denied

What are the permissions on /dev/fd0.720 ?

ls -l /dev/fd0.720

I believe the default is
crw-r-----  2 root  operator    9,   7 Jul  5  2002 /dev/fd0.720

which user is using mtools?
which version of FreeBSD are you using?

I would expect something more like
"device not configured"
if that were the problem.
