I set up transmission-daemon on my Scientific Linux 6.3 machine to download files to a mounted NFS share (mounted during boot via /etc/fstab). The directory that the NFS share is mounted to was chown'ed to the transmission-daemon user and group.

In the Transmission web interface, I add a test .torrent file, and got a permission denied error when Transmission tries to access the destination download directory (i.e the mounted NFS share).

However, a regular user on the SL 6.3 system can read and write to that share fine.

What should I do to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Can you post share configuration, fstab entry, ls -la <dir> for Downloads directory and its parent and userids for the users that transmission is running as as well as userids for the users able to access the files via NFS mount. – Karlson Dec 19 '12 at 16:12
