Processing of SickBeard and CouchPotato downloads

Hi, I have just updated my SABnzbd+ (0.7.2), SickBeard (496) and CouchPotato V2 and some issues presented themselves. I also installed Python 2.7 for the first time. Both CouchPotato and SickBeard return this error when trying to post-process in SABnzbd+:

Exit(1) operable program or batch file. (More)

When I click (more)... I get this message:
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


The files get moved, but not renamed and placed in the proper folders. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

A little about my setup:
I am running Windows 7 Enterprise on a PC (192.168.1.20), and downloaded TV shows and Movies gets processed (renamed and moved) to my NAS (192.168.1.10)

I have fixed my SickBeard post-processing, it seems that it was set to use the AutoProcessTV.py instead of sabToSickBeard.exe. But any ideas how I can get the post-process script for CouchPotato to work, since there are only .py-script and not exe-script?

For this you need to install ActiveState's Python with all default settings,
so that Windows knows how PY files should be executed.
Restart SABnzbd afterwards.

I found a link to it in the CouchPotato v2 install FAQ in this forum. A zip file containing autoProcessMovie.py and sabToCouchPotato.py. Bet you'll find it.
