Is the issue reproducible? Yes

When running SABnzbd as a service it says that my destination folder has 0.0GB free, even though it is actually well over 80GB. downloads fail because of this with an error saying that the destination folder could not be created. When running SABnzbd "normally" (through the start menu), the Free Space is shown correctly, and downloads succeed. Also, retrying downloads that have failed with this error succeed.

I first thought that maybe because the service starts while Windows is starting, the networked folder (my destination folder is a folder on my NAS) is not available yet. But the problem also occurs when I start the service manually after accessing the remote folder (e.g. through windows explorer).

Has anyone seen a similar issue, and is there a way to solve it?

Are you trying to use a drive letter?
For the final destination you should use a UNC path, like \\server\share

I don't recommend to use a share for the temporary download folder ("incomplete").
This one must have a drive letter (due to limitations of the par2 program)
and it must be present before SABnzbd starts up.

Awesome, that was indeed the problem.I did use a drive letter for the final destination. I now changed it to the UNC path, and it works.

Yea! :-)

Oh, and the temp folder is on the server's local disk, so I'm using a drive letter there.
