Need help with permissions - Folder is not writable by user Sonarr

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5343
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 6.10.0.104
OS: DietPi
Description of issue: I’m using two Raspberry Pis : the first one is running Deluge and a samba share with an external HDD connected to it. The second Pi is running the Sonarr client. I want the downloading to happen on the first Pi running Deluge. I mounted the samba share that is running on the first Pi on the second one, and set up a remote path mapping. Whenever I try to add a series, I see only two options: select path and add a different path. Is the network path mapping I set up earlier supposed to show up here?

When I select add a different path and navigate to the same folder, I get a message saying ‘Folder is not writable by user sonarr’. I’m confused about how to change the permissions to fix this error. The network drive is mounted in the directory /mnt/samba and when I run ls -la, the permission shown is drwxrwx— . What should I change this to in order to make it work? I’ve had the same error show up for folders even with drwrwxrwx permission. Also, do I have to change permissions on both the Pi hosting the samba share and the Pi running sonarr?
