changing download folder to network share

Hope I posted this in the right place. I'm having trouble changing the download folder in Config to a network share (on xbmc live). Normally I would put the network path in //drive/folder/etc. but this isn't working.

In the xbmc live interface I got to use windows smb so the path looked like smb://drive/folder/ I don't think sabnzbd understands this as I just get a folder called smb created?

Is there any way to get my media saved automatically on this drive?

Thanks

On what kind of operating system is SABnzbd actually running
and where are the shares located?

Sabnzbd is running on XBMC live so linux. The share is located on a NAS drive (which i'm accessing from XBMC live using SMB).

You need to mount the share first.
I don't think the OS accepts paths like smb://drive....
The XMBC application interprets that and silently converts it to something else,
or it does it's own SMB protocol.

Ok, i'll look for a guide on mounting my share. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
