SABnzbd uses the $PATH variable to find the par2 program.
Check the PATH variable that is passed to SABnzbd.
If you run  SABnzbd from a shell, check if par2 actually runs without adding a full path to it.

echo $PATH
/usr/bin should be part of the path
blabla:/usr/bin:blabla

Also make sure /usr/bin/par2 has its X bit set and that the access rights are correct.
