Post process aborted - cannot create final folder

Post by htou »

Running ver 0.7.11 (win install) as a service
Win 7 Pro 64bit

I have been racking my brain but havent been able to figure it out.

Categories relative folders - E:\Downloads\Complete

In Categories my folder path for the tv category is E:\TV Shows. When i load sab with a tv nzb it automatically selects the tv category but on completion i get the message "PostProcessing was aborted (Cannot create final folder E:\TV Shows\Show Name\Season 1\Random.Showname.S01E01.avi)

If I change the tv category folder path to E:\TV the post processing completes with no errors.

"E:\TV Shows" contains all my shows and i would like this destination to continue to be the home for shows. How come sab can 'post-process' OK to E:\TV but not to E:\TV Shows?

Im sure its something simple im missing.

Check access rights.
Under which account is the SABnzbd service running?

The service is on the local system account.

I dont think its a folder permission issue because the previous sab install could post process to it no problems.

Well im an idiot, after closer inspection of the folder permission and comparing it to other folders i quickly realised that this was the issue. Thank you shypike for highlighting a access right issue. Would not have figured it out otherwise.
