I am following instructions on intergrating SABnzbd and SickBeard. I am stuck on the last step. In SAB, I have selected the proper scripting folder. I changed the sample file and edited with my SickBeard server info. When I go to SAB, select categories, it allows me to select the script but only offers Default or None as options and not the sabtosickbeard option that most of the guides tell me should be there.
I have gone through the steps 15 times and can't get it to work. I am a rookie with scripts and stuff so it could be something simple. Anything I should check that might be a common rookie mistake?

Re: SAB Sickbeard Scripting Problem
There are a few conditions.
- A script folder must be set (and exist and be accessible)
- The script must be in that folder
- The script needs to be executable
The latter means that on Unix/Linux/Mac it needs to have its X-bit set.
(chmod +x script
On Windows it needs to have an extension like .exe .com .cmd
or .py (but for .py you need properly installed Python software).
