sorting always puts it into /home/username

I want sorting to put tv series into /storage/tv_series but instead it puts it into /home/username/storage/tv_series

How can I change this?

Do I have to move the base folder location? If so how do I do that?

Thanks

The Config->Folders page contains the base path.
The alternative is to use the full path in your sort expression.
A third option is to use a category for these items and set a category path.

Thanks for the reply....

I was trying to do the 2nd option. My raid (md0) is mounted to /storage

What would be the full path to that?

Sorry, you'll have to find that out yourself.
I cannot diagnose your system.
Try to find out from an ssh terminal session.

sorry, not sure if i'm understanding or explaining it right ???

if i ssh in then type in cd /

this takes me to the root of the system drive. If I do ls i see

12 lib
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 12288 2011-08-04 18:03 lib32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-07-30 12:47 lib64 -> /lib

drwxr-xr-x 11 parisv parisv 4096 2011-08-06 13:05 storage
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 0 2011-08-06 14:39 sys
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 2011-08-06 15:17 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2011-08-04 18:02 usr
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2011-08-02 15:03 var

so storage is at the root in /

so from anywhere if i type cd /storage it will go there.

in folders I have set temp download folder to /storage/sabnzbd/incomplete

and complete folder to /storage/sabnzbd/complete

this works fine if I download something it saves it in the right place /storage/sabnzb/complete

But if I enable sorting for tv series to /storage/tv_series instead of putting it there it puts it in /home/parisv/storage/tv_series
