folder_rename not working

First, the deets:
Version: 0.5.3
OS: Windows Home Server
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin (if applicable): Default
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes
Like some others I've read on Windows Home Server, I was getting a ton of rename errors. I saw mention of the folder_rename switch in the config .ini so I changed it to 0 (to disable renaming of folders). This was over a month ago. I've restarted many times since then and verified that the switch is still set to 0. Here is an example of an error I got:
Code: Select all
2010-08-09 13:37:40,155 ERROR: Error renaming "D:\shares\Videos\Unsorted\complete\Games\_UNPACK_LegalDownload" to "D:\shares\Videos\Unsorted\complete\Games\LegalDownload"
Why is it still naming the folder UNPACK? Am I misunderstanding the use of the folder_rename switch?
And if it matters, here's some of my INI file:
Code: Select all
__version__ = 18
[misc]
https_port = 9090
folder_rename = 0

Not that this is going to be much help but that's exactly how I have it setup and it works fine.

Did you try a restart of sabnzbd ?

It's been restarted many times since I changed that setting, yes.

Known problem on WHS due to the odd behavior of its file system.
Use the "secret" option folder_rename.

When answering a huge backlog after a holiday, one tends to get sloppy.
It works perfectly fine on my WHS system (I had the same problem too).
The code involved is very straightforward and will stop the use of temporary names.
I would need to see "debug"-level logging to see what could be the matter in your situation.

Hmm, is there a way to go back to a previous day's logging? Happened again yesterday, but if I download a debug log from the web interface, I only get info from today.

There are 5 log files, which are cycled.
Only the last one is available through the web interface.

I think I figured it out. Looks like its a pretty common problem if you're a software dev. It's called user error, or basically I'm an idiot. I was editing the wrong SAB config file. Please move on, nothing to see here.

No problem, it can happen to all of us, including me.
