The problem is that I am also unable to create a new restore point. It
appears that nothing can access the system information volume folder . For
your information I am not a novice and have had over 30 years experience but
never had this problem.

Only the system can access that folder. Because you can not do a single
thing in that folder without breaking System Restore. So permissions are set
to only allow the system to access.

It doesn't matter what is in SR if you don't restore. It will eventually
become too old and be deleted.

Create a manual restore point, run Disk Cleanup and click the button that
deletes all but last restore point.

 Users are the most dangerous thing to windows as they keep doing things
beyond their abilities. If SR was working (and I've only answered you
because it isn't) then doing nothing and not thinking about it is the
correct response.
