So I got Couchpotato and Transmission talking. I go into Couchpotato, search for what I want to download, hit add, and then transmission starts downloading it. Then, when it finishes, I tried to have Couchpotato rename and move the files.

However, I realized that I had an extra // in front of the "mnt" directory. So, instead of placing the file in /mnt/myVolume/mydataset, it put it ///mnt/myVolume/myDataset, but I don't know where that is.

I tried going into the shell and searching for it with but can't find the files anywhere. Can anyone tell me where they went? Does Couchpotato create a directory if it can't find one? If so, where? It couldn't have just erased the files, could it?

Ok, now I've make sure the directory is correct, but I'm still having a problem. I selected a torrent to download in CouchPotato, watched Transmission download the movie, and had Windows Explorer open to watch it disappear from the folder when CouchPotato tries to move it.... it just never appeared at the destination directory. *sigh*

Does the CouchPotato jail need to have access to the folder the movie downloads into as well as the folder it's moving the file into? I mean, I gave the folders all permissions within Windows, but in the jail>storage portion of FreeNAS, I can only add 1 storage location to CouchPotato, right?

EDIT: Added another storage to give CouchPotato access to the renamed movies folder. Didn't fix the problem.

I did not. I still don't know where the files go when renaming goes awry. I also still can't get renaming to work properly. For now, I just have it disabled and move the files manually after they download.
