First I want to say thank you to all the developers who've spent time on SAB. Really nice product. Now to my question. I have a Mac Mini(old Power PC model) along with a Drobo disk array that is connected to my network that I store all of my media on. I have another Mac Mini that acts as my HTPC that I run sabnzbd, CouchPotato, and Sickbeard on. I'm trying to configure sabnzbd to place the completed downloads on the Drobo but I can't seem to get the path configured properly. I admit I'm a bit of a newbie with OSX and I suspect I'm not entering the path correctly.
Here's what I'm doing. I have a completed download folder set in sabnzbd in the folders configuration page that points to a path on the local HTPC hard drive(media/staged). I'm trying to configure the TV category path in sabnzb to the Drobo volume. The Drobo volume I'm trying to store the completed files on, including machine name, is //macmini/media/TV. I've tried entering the TV category path in several different ways but sabnzbd always creates whatever I specify in the TV category path under the path specified in the completed downloads folder. For example, I tried using the full path to the Drobo volume on the network machine(afp://macmini/media/tv) and what sabnzbd does is start in the completed download folder(media/staged) and create the TV category path so that I end up with the TV files stored in media/staged/afp/macmini/media/tv on the local HTPC machine.
How can I specify a network path in sabnzbd to get it to store it's completed files on the remote volume?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Network path help...
You mount network drives on /Volumes.
This happens automatically when you navigate to it with Finder.
You can also mount permanently in the login properties.
