NZB's in watched folder.

[Duumke]

Is it just me, or are the NZB's not removed from the watched folder after import?
I've noticed it, because it imported the NZB's again after a restart from SABnzbd.

Must be an access rights problem, have you checked the Warnings or the logfile.

It's rather unlikely.
I didn't check the logs yet, but it's running under the Administrator account on a Windows 2003 server.
The permissions are set so Aministrator has full access to the share.

I'll check the logs later today.

It would not be the first time that Windows 2003 server did not allow me to remove files.
If any program at all has some connection to a file (or folder) you cannot remove it.
With shares this is even worse (this has cost me many reboots).

Are you sure that whatever program puts the files in the watched folder, doesn't still have
some claim on the file?

Hi,

For this type of annoyement, here is a little freeware :

http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

When a file or folder is locked by a process, right click on it and launch unlocker... All locking processes will be listed and you can remove them...

I'll try some more with some larger folder scan time, so I know the file is free when it's imported.

I found a solution.
I didn't set up a backup directory for the NZB files...
Now I did, it does move the files to the backup dir.

This also means it wasn't a rights problem.
