Also, when you say "it goes back to 'sar'", you mean that this happens when you open the preferences window (Edit -> Preferences) again after having closed it?

Yes after I change the download  folder and close the preferences and open it back up to look, it's back to 'sar', it won't change...

I just ran Bazaar today and I also have the latest version of SABNzbd 0.5.6 installed.

Here's a screen shot of lottanzb from the terminal and the preferences;

The screen shot is after I changed the download folder and then closed it and reopened it, so you can see it's still on 'sar' and won't let me change, which is my $HOME path, /home/sar

I want to change it to the path, /home/sar/Downloads/Lottanzb also as you can see in the terminal it said lottanzb.conf saved and there are no errors in the terminal.

Sorry where do I check it in SABnzbd?

Here is the lottanzb --debug output
