Import failed, path does not exist

Version 2.0.0.5243

Windows 10 Pro x64.
Message from error log:
Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: Q:\downloads\XXXXXX.S02E02.WEB.x264-TBS[rarbg]

• Torrent box is on HTPC.
• Sonarr is on PMS.
• Sonarr service is running with login credentials with admin rights
• HTPC (torrent) downloads to a local folder, G:\Downloads located on PMS. This drive is mapped as Q on HTPC.
  A couple of things have been tried with Remote Path Mappings. I have tried this:

Then I figured maybe Sonarr had to have the same remote path as the HTPC, so I used the SUBST command to create a virtual Q: Drive on PMS

The error message is always the same, Import failed, path does not exist.

A remote path mapping should be:

Host: Exact same as the Host field in the download client settings (in Sonarr)
Remote: Q:\
Local: G:\Downloads

As long as Q:\ on the torrent box points to G:\Downloads (and there is another subfolder for downloads in there, ie G:\Downloads\downloads): then the above mapping should work. SUBST may also work, but depends on when it was mounted and how Sonarr is running probably.

This was the problem. Thanks for your help!
