How do I TFTP download from base directory mounted to a drive partition

I am working with an external SATA drive, and would like to be able to have remote hosts be able to TFTP download files from it. However, when I set my TFTP base directory to my mount location, I get the following error on the client when I attempt to download:
: (68) TFTP: File Not Found
As a sanity check, I stopped TFTP on the server, unmounted the drive, and created a file in the root filesystem with the same name, in same directory that I had mounted the drive to previously. I then restarted TFTP, tried to download again on the client, and had no issues pulling down the file. Are there any considerations I may have missed in regards to trying to TFTP from the drive? For what it's worth, the TFTP server is running on a VirtualBox Red Hat 7.3 VM, and my client is the VM host (Windows 10). I'm using cURL from a Cygwin session to do the TFTP downloads
