Since the size of sd cards is limited I set it up so my (samba) NAS is mounted on boot, after that I set the maindir to /mnt/nas/ (where I mounted the share)

Though other applications including sickbeard and couchpotato don't have any problem with this setup, when I start NZBget it gives me the following messages:

Does anyone know what I did wrong?
Thanks.

Merged your thread into this main as there is no need to open new one.
-thx-

I have used the method like described in the opening post. Just move the existing directories to your nas and create symbolic links. Now you don't have to reconfigure every package to point to the new directories.

For your case replace "/media/usb/" by "/mnt/nas/"

Code:

mv /home/xbian/downloads /media/usb/
mv /home/xbian/incomplete /media/usb/
mv /home/xbian/torrents /media/usb/
ln -s /media/usb/downloads /home/xbian/downloads
ln -s /media/usb/incomplete /home/xbian/incomplete
ln -s /media/usb/torrents /home/xbian/torrents

You probably already have reconfigured every package and it looks like the directories do not exist yet. You can create them and you have to change permissions to 777.

Code:

mkdir /mnt/nas/torrents
chmod 777 /mnt/nas/torrents

Do this for all 3 directories.
