[Linux / XBMC Live] "Cannot change permissions of /home/xbmc/nas/bla.mkv"

Just upgraded to version 0.5.0 beta4 and to XBMC Camelot Final.
I've this issue that sabnzbd is trying to set permissions on the downloaded content.
My situation:

Made two folders on my home dir: /home/xbmc/nas/Unzipt + /home/xbmc/nas/nzb
Mounted these folders to the nas.

After the download is complete sabnzbd is trying to set permissions.
It doesn´t matter if I configure sabnzbd to do so or not (currently 777 is configured).
The account onder which sabnzbd runs is the default xbmc user.
I've set the /home/xbmc/.sabnzbd directory to 777, also the two other folders which mount to the nas.
The unzip of the files works fine though.

On the nas itself I don't use permissons

What could there be wrong in my config? Couldn't find this issue in the forums.
Don´t recall I had this in the previous versions (Maybe the xbmc default user has less permissions in this version?)

It could very well be that your system doesn't support permissions calls at all.
Which isn't very good, the OS should silently ignore those calls.

Recently we changed SABnzbd to change the permissions always
to the minimum if the user hasn't set any permissions.
This is to compensate for some dumb rar files that contain
permissions settings (leaving you with unmovable files)

I'll change the code so that SABnzbd will not complain if it's trying
to set default permissions and not being able to set them.
Will be in next Beta.
