Hi everyone,

New to the forums, hope you are all well!

I need some helps please…

Im running DietPi on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Running the latest image of DietPi (v6.14).  
I have Sonarr, Transmission and Jackett installed. This is all connected to my network (obviously) and I have mounted a shared from a Western Digital MyCloud. This share has my Movies/Series folder and a Transmission folder.

This was all working perfectly until just the other day. What usually happens when the episode has finished downloading is the episode is moved from the Transmission folder to the Series folder (These are both on the same Share).

I can quite work out when it stopped working, but now I get this error:

```plaintext
Couldn't import episode /mnt/samba/transmission/sonarr/[insert name here].mkv: Access to the path is denied.

```

I have posted on the [Sonarr Forums](https://forums.sonarr.tv/t/access-to-path-denied-when-importing-episodes/19575) and what I can gather is that Sonarr doesn’t have permission to write/copy/move the downloaded file to the destination. As seen here by one of the replies:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path “/mnt/samba/Series/[series name]/[tvshow.nfo” is denied.

```auto

> I’d say the issue is writing to the destination.

Now I'm wondering what has changed??? Like I say, this was working perfectly a few days/weeks ago. Has one of the latest DietPi updates changed permissions somewhere??

Please can someone help?

Thanks in advance everyone..
