The problem I encountered was I had to unmount the drive SAB was writing to. That was not nice of me I know but SAB then created a doppelganger folder in /volumes with that drive name logging errors it could not find the drive. That’s OK but under no circumstances should SAB create that doppelganger folder as the "drive" when mouted again will be called "drive1" as "drive" is taken by the doppelganger.
Here is what happens:

can this be corrected as it brings OSX off the track.

Re: Doppelganger Folder created by SAB
On OSX, SABnzbd will not create new folders in /Volumes at the start
of a new post-processing job, but will "fail" the job.
However, when you unplug.a drive in the middle of post-processing
the check will already have been done.
Subsequent actions may still create new folders and, more importantly,
the unrar tool will happily create new folders.

Re: Doppelganger Folder created by SAB
OK just wanted to make sure. There was no download and no post processing when I did that. I deleted the folder renamed the drive1 to drive and started SABNZB. The folder came back. I could also suspect Sickbeard that is also permanently accessing the drive? Not your topic but could a Python app do this?
Right now SAB is not turned on and the /volumes folder is folder-free, drives only.

Re: Doppelganger Folder created by SAB
If SABnzbd creates the folder when starting a job, that would be an error.
I don't know whether SickBeard will create folders on its own.
Any app can create folders, so every Python app can too.
