since upgrading to 0.4.4 (Windows) last week, i've noticed that my post-processing queue always stalls when trying to move files. i have a htpc that's dedicated to grabbing episodes via rss, verify/repair any errors, and then move the files to their respective folders based upon tv folder sorting. however, after verification, post-processing stalls when sabnzbd+ tries to move the files to their new directory. the proper subdirectories are created (show name >> S01E03 >> temporary UNPACK folder), but the files remain in the UNPACK folder when they should have been moved to the S01E03 folder. i must manually shutdown sabnzbd in order to progress in the post-processing queue (of course, the next set still has this same problem). afterward, the UNPACK folder is renamed to FAILED and i must manually move the files. the error message displayed is:

ERROR::[postproc] Error removing workdir

i've pasted an excerpt from my log file below. (the post-processing starts, but then stalls. i finally manually shutdown sabnzbd+, and then restart it)

hmm...no help? for the past week, i've been using 0.4.3 with the same exact config file. no problems related to moving files and post-processing. of course, i'll have to deal with the bugs in 0.4.3 that were addressed by 0.4.4, but the problem with post-processing in 0.4.4 is a complete show-stopper for me.

I wasn't trying to sound like an a$$ or anything, but just pointed out that there were no replies. In the meantime, I've gone back to 0.4.3, which is working OK for my purposes. What additional information would be needed?

- An example of a failing NZB (you can email it to bugs at sabnzbd.org).
- Is the D: drive a fixed disk or a network/usb mounted one
- Does the problem occur only for TV episodes or also for any other download?

I've sent an email to you with some attachments (nzb, config, log files).

This machine is a headless file server and all drives are physically attached via PATA/SATA connections. I mainly download TV episodes via this machine so I can't say whether this occurs with any other file categories. However, I can assure you that on all of these TV downloads, the queue stalls at moving the files. On another machine that is running 0.4.4, I don't seem to have these issues, but that machine does not handle any TV episodes however, it does handle some categories that involve moving the files from the default download directory once processed.

With my limited knowledge, I would suspect that there may be an issue with the TV sorting feature in 0.4.4 as going back to 0.4.3 with the same config file results in no such errors. Either that or I have an esoteric setup/config (though I think it is rather simple) as I haven't seen any other postings about any similar problem on the forums.

I hope this information can help in determining and resolving the problem.

Thank you.

I can confirm that I have the exact same problem on the same version running on Debian Linux ...
Will downgrade too for now ... Please keep us posted if you find out what's causing this

Thanks, edd

It would help if you send us some extra info.
Like what is in the log files about this problem.

Is the problem limited to just TV episode handling?

This issue has resolved for me in 0.4.5 RC1, great job!
