Sabnzbd can't create Download Directory!

[Sp1xx]

Hey,

I'm really new to Archlinux on the pogoplug, but until now everything worked fine ( Ssh / Samba ). Yesterday I tried to install sabnzbd and already got into the web interface.

The Problem is, that I cant let download the files to the Directory given by Sabnzbd ( /opt/sabnzbd/Downloads/ ) because its the Os-Drive with only 5gb left.

The Downloads have to be downloaded to /dev/sdb1 ( /media/UNTITLED/Downloads).

I tried to change the Directory in the settings but this wont work, so I searched for another way and tried this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mkdir /media/hd-sdb1/sabnzbd
rm -rf /opt/sabnzbd/Downloads/
ln -s /media/hd-sdb1/sabnzbd /opt/sabnzbd/Downloads
rm -rf /opt/sabnzbd/logs
ln -s /media/hd-sdb1/sabnzbd /opt/sabnzbd/logs')

I don't geht what exactly is done but I think its a kind of "link" from the original Directory to my external Drive.

Now I get the following error in Web interface ( and also free space = 0 in interface ):

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Verzeichnis /opt/sabnzbd/Downloads/incomplete konnte nicht angelegt werden')

In English:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Directory /opt/sabnzbd/Downloads/incomplete can't be created')

I made a fresh install now and hope you can help me!

Thanks a lot so far.

The issue I had similar to this was because the sabnzbd user didn't have the permissions to write to that directory.

Okey, how can I give the user "sabnzbd" (this should be the user?!) the permission to write on the external drive?

When I try Chown sabnzbd on the external Drive I get the following:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm UNTITLED]# chown sabnzbd Download
chown: changing ownership of ‘Download’: Operation not permitted
[root@alarm UNTITLED]# ')

If I manage the user to write in this directory the problem could be solved?!

thanks so far


//EDIT:

This could be usefull to know:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'warning: directory permissions differ on opt/
filesystem: 777 package: 755
/tmp/alpm_vzQOyW/.INSTALL: line 6: xdg-mime: command not found
/tmp/alpm_vzQOyW/.INSTALL: line 7: xdg-icon-resource: command not found ')

I get this error while installing sabnzbd.

Also I am confused about my /etc/fstab:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/swapfile.img none swap sw 0 0
')

My External drive isn't there?!

Thats what I get wit "df":

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
