HI,
I did a search there were some threads on this but most were windows issues. I used to run windows based sabnzbd but had a few issues with sickbeard so I switched everything over to Ubuntu 14.04 on a spare laptop. I'm very new to linux just learning how to install all of this has been an adventure. So the issue is when I go to the sabnzbd folders I can't seem to get it to allow me to use a mounted folder in Ubuntu I can mount my nas box on the Ubuntu desktop but it's not inside the user folders inside my /home/t400. Sabnzbd is only allowing me to change folder locations after the Default Base Folder: /home/t400 < thats my user name for the account on the ubuntu box. My mounted drive is called smb://freenas.local/movies then I have all the folders from the windows box I was using sabnzbd before. Any assistance would be great. thanks.
How do you change the Default Base Folder: in sabnzbd

Re: How do you change the Default Base Folder: in sabnzbd
A few remarks:
In SABnzbd you can just fill out the full path, so starting with a "/". Example: /bla/bla/more/stuff/
SABnzbd and Linux cannot handle UNC's like "smb://blabla/

You will need install Samba software and then "mount" the network drive on the local file system.sander wrote: SABnzbd and Linux cannot handle UNC's like "smb://blabla/

Update I got it to work using this
Created folder first media/freenas
sudo mount -t cifs //ipaddress/movies /media/freenas -o guest,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
