Hello --
Been using SABnzbd for years now -- no issues. MacOS, Macbook Pro 2019.
As of today, I keep getting the following error message about not having access to the temp directory.
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Volumes/Movies 20201/sabztemp
I have changed nothing in SABnzbd. My machine upgraded to MacOS 12.3.1 - and ever since then it's stopped working. I confirmed that the permissions on the external drive are fine, I have updated Python, I even tried installing your beta 3.6.0. No change.
Really frustrating -- cannot figure out why this happened.

Re: Sudden permission issue - unsolvable ... solved!
Ok -- After hours of trying everything, I seemed to have figured it out, and I'd like to share it as I imagine others might have this problem.
Because Apple changed how permissions work in Monterey, SABnzbd must be given "Full Disk Access" rights in the Privacy section of Security & Privacy, found in System Preferences. Not at all intuitive! But...it solved the problem!
