Could you check if the folder "/volume1/@appdata/tvheadend/backup" exists and if so has "sc-tvheadend" write access there? Could you also check the permissions setting for "/bin/tar" that should be 755.

Actually, I think the issue comes from the #recycle file/directory. This is done automagically by DSM to keep track of deleted files. I'm presuming that this is owned by root and not accessible by sc-tvheadend user. @alickwilson I suggest you manually remove that directory the do a stop/start of the package and see if this fixes things.

[BenjV]

A #recycle folder is created by DSM on a share when you activate the recycle bin functionality for that share.

There should not be a recycle folder on the root of the filesystem So why would a tar command use the ./#recycle folder?

[alickwilson]

Problem solved by removing directory #recycle.

Thanks for your help, @th0ma7 and @BenjV. I could not have solved this without your help.

FWIW, steps below.

Could you check if the folder "/volume1/@appdata/tvheadend/backup" exists and if so has "sc-tvheadend" write access there?

[root@DS118:~# ls -l /volume1/@appdata/tvheadend/backup total 5292 -rw-rw-rw- 1 sc-tvheadend tvheadend 535827 Feb 1 2020 4.2.8.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 sc-tvheadend tvheadend 1028036 Aug 11 2020 4.3~221c29b.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 sc-tvheadend tvheadend 770421 Jul 6 10:54 4.3~9ed76c0.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 sc-tvheadend tvheadend 1263824 Dec 22 16:02 4.3~c6bb43d.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 sc-tvheadend tvheadend 1095695 Dec 5 2020 4.3~ce09077.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 sc-tvheadend tvheadend 713609 Nov 3 15:16 4.3~eb59284.tar.bz2

Could you also check the permissions setting for "/bin/tar" that should be 755.

[root@DS118:~# ls -l /bin/tar -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 416624 Aug 13 2020 /bin/tar

I suggest you manually remove that directory the do a stop/start of the package and see if this fixes things.

root@DS118:/var/packages/tvheadend/var# rm -r '#recycle'

Restart Tvheadend, runs OK.
