What does sysinfo output say? Please read How to Request Help in my signature.

So first of all, lets confirm that /mnt/PDB1/test exists and is a directory:

Code: Select all

Illegal usage: output folder must exist and must be a directory: /mnt/PDB1/test

If that is the case, then we know that to FileBot it appears as if that directory does not exist, so that points us to a likely permission issue. Google and trial & error is your best bet on dealing with general permission issues.

2. I did put the permissions on both folders to 0777 (and even tried it with sudo)

I see. If you're using snap, then you need to learn about confinement, which is a security / sandbox layer specific to snap on top of the normal Linux security / permission system you might be familiar with.

The easiest solution is probably to just use the normal APT / DEB source though and run the app without any kind of confinement: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6028
