The error seems to suggest that the folder Drone is in a write protected folder and the logical course of action would be to give the Drone user permissions to write to that folder (recursively). So either chmod it if needed or chown/chgrp it, or a combination of these three.

sudo chown nzbUserName /opt/NzbDrone/ -R

Replace the nzbUserName with the user that is running nzbDrone/Sonarr

I found out what user was being used to startup the nzbDrone in /etc/init/nzbdrone.conf file. There is a line “setuid yourusername”. That is the username that you should use to replace in the chown command.

Hope this helps.
