Raspberry Pi Debian install of Sonarr and SABNZBD
Version: Newest Stable
OS: Debian
Install-type: Linux
Skin (if applicable): Plush
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

Post Processing Failed for I.Solemnly.Promise.to.Read.the.Forum.Rules (Cannot create final folder /Downloads/completed/I.Solemnly.Promise.to.Read.the.Forum.Rules)

It happens during post processing. it downloads fine in the incomplete folder but when it goes to extract or move to complete folder i get this error.
I've tried a few things. So far nothing works. tried chown -R pi:pi Downloads/complete and a few others. but i am running out of ideas.

Any idea under which user account SABnzbd runs?
That account should be the owner of the involved folders.

Looks like a user error in the dir setting. Note the leading slash in the error message:
Cannot create final folder /Downloads/completed/[...]

Thats the local directory where its being stored. Should there not be a slash in front of it? It's not a network path.

Are you quite sure?
It's not customary to have a Downloads folder in the root of Linux system's system drive.
Does the folder exist?

forgot to mention i moved the folder location to this new location. Because originally it was the wrong folder. Everything is pointing correctly and from what ive checked access should not be an issue but it is.

Incomplete is owned by account "pi".
Is that the account under which SABnzbd runs?

No the link is still wrong.
You are in your user folder when you type the initial ls, not your root.
Please remove the first / form your download folder (and/or category) settings and then try again?
