Unable to move file -- invalid mode: wb

Post by nicheplayer »

I got this error for the first time today on a file that has the word Déjà in the title. I wonder if those characters in the name are a problem? Anyone seen this before? I searched the forums and didn't see anything obvious. This is trying to copy from a Mac to a NAS mounted via AFP. Thanks!

Judging by the error message, I'd say the characters aren't the problem.
But even so, I don't have a clue what this "wb" error is, it probably comes directly from the operating system.
Do other downloads work properly?
Can you manually move files with "special" characters?
What kind of NAS is it?

FWIW: it seems a python IOerror. See for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5628 ... o-and-ajax

That's a different issue. The file function that SABnzbd uses supports the "wb" value.

Yup, other downloads work fine, and I don't recall ever seeing this particular error before. I did end up copying the file manually from the command line and then scanning it into XBMC, where everything displayed properly. Checked the permissions going up the file tree on the NAS, too, just in case, and they looked fine. This is a ReadyNAS NV+ running the latest firmware for that unit.

I did see that python error during my web search, too, and wondered if the old version of Python I'm running on my Mac Mini server might somehow be to blame.
