Sonarr unable to post process - permissions issue

Forgive me if this is known, or if I am an idiot.

I have Sonarr (NzbDrone) running as a user called “utorrent” on an Ubuntu VM. I also have uTorrent running on the same box, as the same user. My downloads folder is owner by utorrent, and is set to perms 777

I keep getting:

Couldn’t import episode /home/utorrent/downloads/completed/tvshows/Workaholics.S07E10.Party.Gawds.1080p.CC.WEBRip.AAC2.0.x264-BTW[rarbg]/Workaholics.S07E10.Party.Gawds.1080p.CC.WEBRip.AAC2.0.x264-BTW.mkv: Access to the path is denied.

As an example. What is weird is that this happened before, so i redeployed the box, and it worked for a day. And now I am back to this. Any assistance or pointers would be welcome.

It could also be the destination path (((debug logs)) will show both paths) that Sonarr is unable to write to.

Thanks markus101 for the quick reply.

I moved all but one show out of my downloads folder, and click the “Rescan Drone Factory Folder” button in the UI. I managed to grab this from the logs:

The whole part of the log, from button click to failure, is here:

The destination folder is also owned by utorrent, although it is an SMB mount over CIFS.

That line in my /etc/fstab is:

//192.168.1.105/TVShows /home/utorrent/tvshows cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0

And on the 105 box, in my config I have:

[TVShows]
path = /mnt/storage/Media/TVShows
public = yes
browsable =yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0755
force user = sharemgr
force group = sharemgr

So i think there is no issue with perms from the server side. Again, any input or tips welcome.

Free cake to any Joburgers who can solve this.

An easy way to test would be to import to a local folder (change the path for a series folder to point to a local directory to test), that way you can rule out any CIFS permission issues.

/me has egg on face.

Thanks markus101 - my mistake. Definitely CIFS issues.
