Access denied errors when importing

Help & Support

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.3953
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 4.2.3
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.4
((Debug logs)) (posted to hastebin or similar):
Description of issue: Sonarr successfully downloads an episode, but gets “Access to the path is denied.” error message. Sonarr runs on Linux machine and NAS is mounted via NFS shares which stores tv episodes (/mnt/nasserver_tvshows/) and downloads folder (/mnt/nasserver_downloads/).

Here is the error messages I’m getting in the logs:

Couldn’t import episode /mnt/nasserver_downloads/Quantico.S01E18.HDTV.x264-LOL[rarbg]/quantico.118.hdtv-lol.mkv: Access to the path is denied.

Any ideas?

Sonarr (or mono don’t know really) imo is very picky with permissions sometimes.
In your case I would change the uid under which sonarr is running to match the one the uid (username) that owns the downloaded files. Or the other way around also should work change the uid of the downloader.

Yup, you’re right! I had Sonarr set up to run as the NAS’ user and group, but not Transmission (my downloader). Importing smoothly now. Thanks!
