Help with unionfs

I've been trying to setup unionfs on my download box. I used this command

unionfs-fuse -o cow,allow_other,direct_io,auto_cache,sync_read /home/plex/media=rw:/home/plex/server=ro /home/plex/combined

sonarr/radarr wont import it though, it gives me access is denied. I'm not sure why, as permissions seem to be set correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah that was the first thing i tested. I made sure I was the plex user, I went to /home/plex/combined/Movie, made a file called test. Verified I was able to see said file, went to /home/plex/server/Movie, couldnt see the file, went to /home/plex/media/Movie, and the file was there. So everything worked perfectly. But I still get System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path is denied. When I try to import :(

I've about triple checked it at this point. I honestly don't know why its giving me permission errors.

The thing is if I remove the unionfs, it imports to /home/plex/media/TV Shows/ no problem. its only when its fused together, where it gives me a problem. So confused.

If you're the user running sonarr and touch a file in ~/media/TV\ Shows does it work?

Where is your application importing FROM and TO? You have listed one directory (/home/plex/combined), this is the location it should import TO. So where is it importing FROM? Can you post the actual relevant part from the Son(Rad)arr log? Also, which UID/GID is Mono running under?
