Categories Folder/Path

I am looking to, after post processing, have downloads in a completely different place from where they started.
My completed downloads folder is located at ...media/usb/Downloads/complete while I am looking to have them placed in ...media/usb/Users/Videos/Shows.
The problem that I am having is that the files keep ending up somewhere near /Downloads/complete/media/usb/Users/Videos/Shows
I have tried several combinations of directories in the Sabnzbd Folder/Path box to no avail.
What can I put there to have the files placed in the correct directory?

The destination path is a combination of the base path and the category path.
You do have the option of using a full path (starting with a /)for the category path;
in that case the default path will be ignored.

When I set the path to "/Users/Videos/Shows/"
I get " PostProcessing was aborted (Cannot create final folder /Users/Videos/Shows/[Show Name]" even though it already exists.

In that case, check access rights. It looks like SABnzbd has no right to write there.
/Users/Videos is an odd path, is "Videos" a user and does SABnzbd run under that account?

UPDATE:
I got the folder correct, now SABnzbd is returning a syntax error:
"File "/opt/sickbeard/autoProcessTV/sabToSickBeard.py", line 26
print "No folder supplied - is this being called from SABnzbd?"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax"

ORIGINAL POST:

I am 98% sure that SABnzbd is running under user "SABnzbd". The /Users/Videos folder is just for file storage, it is on the external hard drive. The permissions for the entire USB drive is 777.
