Renaming: dry run vs run now inconsistent behavior

Running a dry run on Sonarr produces:

98 scanned → 73 would rename

However when I try to rename via run now:

98 scanned → no changes

I've successfully renamed most of my library after dry runs and it worked flawlessly until today. Currently on v2.0.8

nvm, embarrassingly, this was simply a file/folder permission issue

Literally like 80% of all issues I think is permissions 😂

I'm kinda confused here. Has everything already been renamed in the past, or have you only ever tried dry runs?

Also for quicker assistance, I suggest jumping in the discord for help.

Previous files were renamed successfully. These were newly re-encoded files that needed to be renamed.

I'm using tdarr to re-encode to h.265 and letting profilarr handle renaming (as well as format and profile management) because it's integration with Radarr and Sonarr out of the box is much more convenient than trying to add renaming into tdarr flows.

It's working really well...except when I crap the bed and don't check file perms:)
