Not sure if it is the same for you as was for me but when i installed cp manually i had this problem and just ditched it. A few months later i got a new server and installed via the script (thought i would give it a 2nd look) and it just worked.
Not the most helpfull responce i know but i must have made a mistake with the manual install maybe you did too?

I followed a tweaker tutorial next to comments on this forum. But I cant dismiss the possibility. Thanks, I'll keep it in mind in case I can't solve it. Is the script on the Ruud's CP page?
Anyone else got a tip? I'm guessing I got to give CP sudo rights or something in Ubuntu ...

I'm using arch Linux so some of my stuff may be slightly different. I fixed it by making sure that my network shares were mounted 777 and with my user name as the owner and 'pvr' as the group. You can pick any user name and group, just stay consistant. Next I chmod'd the entire sabnzb and couchpotato dirs to that same username and group. This was /opt/sabnzbd and /opt/couchpotatoon my system. Lastly I edited the start up scripts for both programs in /etc/RC.d so that they ran under my user name instead of their default.
It seemed like what was happening was the permissions are locked on the mounted shares (my shares are on a windows server 2k8 box). This made mv pass an error back to couchpotato (even though the move completed) because theres some extra info about the file that mv can't change. This makes couch assume that the move failed completely. Then it rescans your download directory, sees the movie again, tries to move it, and the cycle repeats. By making sure that the entire process from start to finish was only associated with one user/group namethat extra info never has to change, so mv never kicks back that error.

Thanks, that sounds about right. How can I mount my external drives 777? Can I do that in terminal?
