SABnzbd Forums

I have a FreeNAS setup, and my various doodads running nicely in their own little jails so everything is neat and tidy and separate. As such, I'm trying to minimize excess everything, including folders and shares. As such, I'm trying to set it up so instead of having to entirely mimic the folder structure of the Sabnzbd jail for the shares (in this case, /Data/Data/Downloads/*SpecificCategoryFolders*/) each specific program will have their specific download folder set up as a share at just /Data/Downloads/ on their respective jail, because otherwise it'd have a pointlessly cluttered structure and it looks messy and superfluous.

Is there a way to get SABnzbd to report a base folder structure for each category as just "/Data/Downloads/" and then whatever new folder it created and so forth? I for one know Sonarr doesn't necessarily work that way, but I don't think CouchPotato didn't have problems.

SABnzbd reports the structure it uses, which is what you set up.
It is possible to set relative paths for the categories, based on the base folder.
I'm afraid I don't really understand the gist of your question.

"/Data/Data/Downloads/Sonarr/" is where SABnzbd in it's own private jail saves files for Sonarr. That is mounted as a share on the Sonarr jail at" /Data/Downloads/". When Sabnzbd is done it states in the log " Requesting Sonarr to scan as "/Data/Data/Downloads/Sonarr/2Gentleman1Crumpet.mp4".

That message is probably output from a postprocessing script you associated with that category. Neither the script's actions nor its output are controlled by sab; if you need it to pass different information to sonarr or want to change what it logs, you'll have to modify the script.
