Here is the information you requested. As you can see, route -n is

write to.

I don't know yet how to deal with this. As a workaround you can try
running Nmap with the --unprivileged option. That will use normal system
calls to send packets, bypassing Nmap's normal route determination.

Nmap 4.11 is pretty old but I don't think that's the problem here.
