Cannot use external drive as watched folder
Posted: September 27th, 2011, 9:30 am
i'm also having this problem.
i want to move my watched folder from my windows (W7x64) to a linux (ubuntu server 11.04) share thats running in a virtualbox VM on the same machine.
accessing the share is not a problem, i can make folders, delete files etc. but when i enter \\WEBSERVER\web\.sabnzbd_blackhole in the sab folders config i get the
the directory exists and if i point it to a dir that doesn't exist then it still isn't being created.
this is the log
atm i don't want to move sabnzbd to the ubuntu VM and keep it running on windows because my understanding of linux is not quite good 
the share isn't on an encrypted home dir
