Jerry,
I managed to "root" and get "TWRP" on my phone...
Then a heart stopping moment, The CM-12 failed loading part way through a "read-error"
My phone re-booted and appeared to be stuck on "Samsung" Logo, "Oh no I've bricked it"
Eventually it re-booted again, So I still have a functional "Samsung" phone.

It could be because I was trying to do from Virtualbox, maybe USB pass through issue, it is a big file.

I will try again when I have a quite moment...

Yeh be careful, rooting and flashing a phone is not for the faint hearted, but once you get used to it, it's like anything else. Just follow instructions to the letter and you'll be fine.

Well I did it directly on the phone... So now have CM12.1 on the Ace3...
So far so good, and I also have R/W access to SD Card withselecting USB storage 
It just calls it 16GB Volume, which it is, a 16GB SD card in phone.
I can live with that... So will mark this closed.

Yeh, Jellybean does usb soooooo badly.

Seem to have lost the "Mark Closed Button" ???

Hmm, never had this issue with stock ROM on a Galaxy Note 3. It's cool to see that you are on CyanogenMod 12. I am too. The usb options in Jelly Bean are kinda archaic.

CM12.1 seems pretty smooth...
The ACE3 is under powered, it is a budget LTE(4G) phone.
I need a new phone but will live with it for now.
