SABnzb folder problem

[dTardis]

I have added a DataSet to the SAB plugin jail. updated permissions that should allow it to write to the directories. Everything looks correct as far as I can tell. Here is the problem.

When I go into setup>folders. I try to change the Temporary download directory from the default to the new directory I created. I use the browse button and navigate to the directory. '/mnt/working/temp'. It seems to be fine. I hit save changes and I don't seem to get errors. BUT if I navigate to a different tab and then back to folders. It is set back at the default. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

do other settings save? can you show the output of the following in the sabnzbd jail?
ls -l /var/db/sabnzbd
ls -l /mnt/working/temp

ls -l /var/db/sabnzbd
ls -l /mnt/working/temp

Other settings to appear to save.

Sure I can do that:

your temp folder is not writable by sabnzbd's user

ok, but if the user is media I have added media to the group ds_media. I also saw it was still wrong so it looks like this now.

It is still failing to save the change to the new directory.

ohh, it should be writable then. you added media to the group in the jail right?

in the jail. I created the group ds_media (1004). I then added the user media to that group. In freenas I created a user sab_media with the same uid and gid in my case 816. I then added that user to the freenas group 1004 that has write access into that dataset. Does that answer the question? Sorry I am new at Freenas so I'm not trying to be a jerk. I really need some help figuring out why this isnt working.

yeah, if the 'media' user is in the group in the jail it should be writable so I'm not sure the issue.
here's a quick test to make sure it is writable

chsh -s /bin/sh media
su media
touch /mnt/working/temp/test

Thank you again for your help. Here are the results:

OK, obviously not a permission problem then. You might want ask on the sabnzbd forum, I know this issue has come up before for different OSs.
