cannot create directory /volume1/downloads/incomplete

Post by xmatic »

I have a DS212J Diskstation that I've owned for a few months now with no issues. I had couchpotato, sabnzbd and sickbeard working without a hitch until recently when I installed a new drive and formatted both drives as JBOD to create one volume. I tried reinstalling SABnzbd and I now get the following warnings:

"Cannot create directory /volume1/downloads/incomplete"
"Cannot create directory /volume1/downloads/complete"

I've searched everywhere and from the little i've gathered it seems like it's a permission issue that I can't seem to resolve. Other sites advice I SSH or Telnet into the diskstation but I don't know the steps required for this. I was able to activate telnet and SSH and successfully login to my diskstation as root, but I don't know what I need to do now. Can anyone give me a noob step by step tutorial or guide on this. Please help as I am desperate and tried installing and uninstalling this a few times already. I've also read through these forums and found that by posting the info below people can determine if it's a permission error.
Thanks for all your help!

You Dont have write permissions to /volume1/download. Try chmod (as root) a+rwx /volume1/downloads.
