SABnzbd 0.7.18 gives constant "cannot create final folder"

Post by not_tesla »

I updated 10 July 2014. Since the update I get an "cannot create final folder" error in post processing.
Version 0.7.18-2 from the Arch AUR
OS: Arch 32 bit vm inside of Proxmox
Install type: Installed from the AUR
Skin: Plush

The system has been up and running since early May without any errors. The final destination folder is an NFS mount on a Mythbuntu 12.04. The users and uids are identical on both machines, and the permissions are all good. I can do manual file operations inside the destination folder, but SAB complains about every file it tries to write into it. I've combed over all my configs and can't find any errors. I'm using absolute paths in my categories entry.

The corresponding code is:

Code: Select all

            if not workdir_complete or not os.path.exists(workdir_complete):
                crash_msg = T('Cannot create final folder %s') % unicoder(os.path.join(complete_dir, dirname))
                raise IOError
So, I would say, it's NOT about permissions, but about existence at all: "not os.path.exists(workdir_complete)". Or even "not workdir_complete ".

So, first check: what is the full message you get, including the dir after "cannot create final folder"

The complete error from the log is:

Post Processing Failed for $SANITIZED (Cannot create final folder /home/$USER/Television/$NAME/$SEASON/$EPISODE

The paths all exists, and are writeable. This setup has been working since May, until the latest update.

There are $-signs in the path? Wow. Is that correct?

I would check with the little python if can you run it by itself.

No, the $VALUES are terms I removed per the forum rules. I tried creating a new local directory and pointing my category towards it's absolute path. I get the same error.

I apologize for the less than helpful log output. I have reset it to -l2 and will have more useful information soon.
