kodi waiting for external storage

I've been getting the waiting for external storage message in Kodi on Android 4.2.2, and now it doesn't start (Kodi version 14.2 Helix) After some logcat debugging, I found this on the messages:

D/Kodi ( 6945): External storage = /mnt/sdcard; state = unmounted

But when I check the /mnt/sdcard path it exists and it is mounted.

And I might think this is because of the way kodi checks for the path. I've changed the xbmc.data path in the xbmc_env.properties file located at the /sdcard folder to:

xbmc.data=/data/kodi_data_files
xbmc.data=/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files
xbmc.data=/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files

But not success so far. Any ideas?

It is probably looking for a previously connected USB drive or SD Card. Either plug the drive in or Go into Settings>Storage and select the drive which is missing and not required. Inside select forget drive / storage. This worked for me.
