[OSX] Preventing SABNZBD from creating folder in /volumes?

I have my complete folder in a networked drive, and occasionally the drive isn't connected to my computer. When this happens, sabnzbd notices that my complete path is incorrect, and remedies this by creating its own folder path in /volumes/.
Is there any way to disable this functionality? Whenever this happens, I have to shutdown sabnzbd, navigate to /volumes/, delete it, and re-attach the networked drive, otherwise the networked drive will name its self Media-1 instead of Media.

You must be using an old version of SABnzbd, because it doesn't do that any more.

You should see this error message and get a failed job.
Code: Select all
PostProcessing was aborted (Cannot create final folder /Volumes/YOUR-VOLUME/your-job-name).
How did you fill in the paths?

Ah okay, then the incomplete folder is the one forcing sabnzbd to create a file path for a fake attached drive. My incomplete folder is on an external hard drive, and sometimes I run sabnzbd when it isn't attached.

We cannot provide a good solution for that.
Just never start SABnzbd when "incomplete" is not mounted.
