Imports not using hardlinks

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5252
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.14.0.177
OS: Debian - Jessie
Debug logs: None present
Description of issue: Despite having the appropriate option “Use Hardlinks instead of Copy” checked, imports are being copied instead of hardlinked. I am performing this operation on a NFS share but have correctly mounted the root of the share (/media) and am only dealing with data stored on that same share.

The below command succeeds when entered on the shell under the same uid as Sonarr but the operation inside Sonarr would perform a copy instead (different inode):

ln /media/downloads/tvshows/file.mkv /media/tvshows/file.mkv

Surprisingly, there is no error in the logs. I do not have this issue with other services like Mylar that are also making use of the same share and the permissions are correctly set. Is there something I am missing? Thanks!

That helped to reveal the issue. Although it didn’t state why it failed, it did reveal what it was deleting before copying and it was clear that it didn’t understand the path I provided. A quick edit in under the Series Editor resolved all issues. Thanks!
