PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Debian 13.x with SAB in docker.
Everything worked fine until now. I guess it's because of the new latest SAB version and I get now the following errors:

Failed making (/data/usenet/incomplete/Giulia)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/app/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/filesystem. py", line 752, in create_all_dirs
os.mkdir(path_part_combined)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/data/usenet/incomplete/Giulia'

SAB has read/write on everything at /data/usenet.

What can I try? Tnx.

First step: put your incomplete inside your docker (not mapped onto the host) and try again

You mean, the incomplete should be part of the docker compose file?
Or do you mean, that the incomplete folder should be at the same location as the docker compose file?
Outside of the latest SAB and Debian updates, I can't think of anyhting that broke my setup. I never had this problem.

No

No

Within your docker compose file: do NOT mention "/incomplete-downloads" (if you use lsio's sabnzbd).
Or more generic: in SABnzbd's GUI (so http://127.0.0.1:8080/config/folders/), point "Temporary Download Folder" to "/root"
