[OSX] saving to external NTFS drive

[Telcoman]

I am having persisting problems with saving files to an external USB 2,5 NTFS formatted drive from my SABNZBD OSX.
According to the WIKI, saving complete files should be easy: putting the file path "Volumes/USB/complete' in the settings page of SABNZBD.
However, when I do this I get an error message saying SABNZBD is unable to access that location.

Any suggestions? Is this due to the external drive being NTFS formatted? Thanks.

(I have Paragon NTFS installed)

Volumes/USB is not correct, it should be /Volumes/USB

Typo, I did use the slash. Keep getting the message: 'Cannot create map'

Can you create folders on the external drive from the Finder?

Yes no problem

After having created the base folder manually, does SABnzbd create the underlying folders?
For SABnzbd all file systems are alike and it addresses them through standard system functions,
so as long as the native file system is mimicked enough, there shouldn't be an issue.
If not, I wouldn't know what to do about it.

Do you mean with base folder 'sabnzbd'? I haven't created that one manually I am afraid. Will do ASAP.

The base folder would be /Volumes/USB/complete
or whatever you set as "Completed Download Folder".
