Disk space not reported correctly on Mac Catalina

Hi, I am having issues with disk space since upgrading to Catalina. I have about 300GB free on my internal drive but Sabnzdb reports out of disk space. Even if a create a separate APFS volume it shows the correct free space in the download page but then pauses because it thinks it has no disk space.

If I connect a external USB drive and point the temp download folder there, it works fine.

I was also getting the no disk space issue after upgrading to Catalina so I was searching for a solution and did as you said , I connected an external USB drive and now it is working fine.

Catalina has extra security features which prevent random, full disk access for applications (like SABnzbd). See https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/issues/1343

So maybe this is related? No access granted, so no disk space ... ?
