SABnzbd will get the bookmark from nzbmatrix but it doesn't unrar it or repair it. What am I doing wrong?

Check your category settings.
When a job lands in your queue, does it have the +Delete marker?

I don't have any categories setup in there. So I have to setup categories for it to work?

There's at least a default category, check that.
You did not answer the second question.

There is a default category and it has +Delete under the Processing. There isn't any folder path set or group index tags.

Again: When a job lands in your queue, does it have the +Delete marker?

Also: how do you get the NZB files into SABnzbd?

I am getting the nzb from nzbmatrix bookmarks. I have setup the bookmarks in the RSS feeds section. It gets the bookmarks and then it downloads them but it doesn't unrar them. When I click on the file in the History it shows the Category as "*" and it says completed but when I check the directory that it downloaded to it is just all the files in rar format.

Check the Post-processing setting in the default category and in the RSS feed definition.
Somewhere it says something else as "Default" or "+Delete".

I deleted the bookmarks feed and added it again. Once I add it another screen comes up with Order, Type, Filter, Category, Priority, Processing. I think this is where I screwed it up the first time. What should the settings be in here and do I "Save" it or what? Thanks for your help!

Now it showed the file that I have bookmarked in nzbmatrix and it had some buttons underneath. I didn't select anything as it is supposed to download automatically. I left it for 20 minutes or so and went back to it and the bookmark doesn't show anywhere. There is nothing in the queue or history. Nothing downloaded.

Of a new RSS feed the first batch will not be automatically downloaded (to prevent a large backlog).
The idea is that you fine-tune your filters before automated downloading starts.
After fine-tuning you can click "Force download".
Subsequent scheduled scans will download matching jobs automatically.
Manual scans will never download automatically (because you're tuning the filters, right?).

All the values can be "Default", as long as you set the "Processing" to be "+Delete" for the default category on Config->Categories.

It seems to be working now. Thanks for your help. Now to figure out how to setup categories properly.
