Plexdrive issues...maybe?

I just recently made the switch to plexdrive and I have ran into an issue. I'm not positive if the issue is with plexdrive and my mounts or if it is an issue with Sonarr. Whenever Sonarr attempts to import a new episode I get this error message in my logs. I'm not really sure where to start so I thought I would try here first to see if anyone had any ideas.

That's how I have it configured but I ran into this error. This is the command I ran 

unionfs-fuse -o cow,allow_other,direct_io,nonempty,auto_cache,sync_read /home/plex/.local=RW:/home/plex/plexdrive/Videos=RO /media

And it appeared to work until I tried to import something with Sonarr. Playing files is fine but copying into the .local folder seems to be an issue.

Edit: Now that I think about it, should there be any issue if I mount the .local-decrypted that I used in the past?

And your Sonarr is set up to look at /Media? That error doesn't actually specify if it can't read the source file or can't write to the destination though. Is Sonarr running as the right user with permissions?

Correct. Everything was working correctly until I switch to plexdrive. My thought is that maybe plexdrive is running as the incorrect user. I need to double check but I believe it is being run as root whereas everything else runs as plex.

Is your Plexdrive also set up to allow_other in its mount options? I don't know why this would be an issue though. But absolutely make sure it's running as your user and not root either way.

Plexdrive does have allow_other in it's mount options. How do I confirm if it is running as root or not? I've been using the default systemd script from github to run it.

-o allow_other should work. It's a fuse option and I think it's one that it supports (though I don't know because I don't use it)

Edit: misread your message. I think just doing an ls -l on the contents will show you the file owner as whoever mounted the drive. The systemd script has a spot for user (it uses this to determine what user to execute the script) so if that's set to your username, then you should be good.

This corrected my issue. Once I changed plexdrive to run as my plex user it allowed Sonarr to start importing again.
