I was trying to use a separate HD for files & doors.

So I have this kind of setup:

(SDA) /sbbs
(SDA) /sbbsfile (link to folder on SDB)
(SDA) /sbbsxtrn (link to folder on SDB)

(SDB) /sbbsfile
(SDB) /sbbsxtrn

I can browse through the folders without any issues in the gui or prompt however I am seeing permission denied when doors/maintenance runs.

ERROR 13 (Permission denied) in xtrn.cpp line 1335 (external) checking "/sbbsxtrn/DOS/T/twgold/" access=0

All permissions appear to be good so maybe I am doing something wrong in regards to putting the link to the folder on SDA?

Assuming your /sbbs/xtrn link points to /sbbsxtrn and you have the correct permissions on /sbbsxtrn then it should work. You could also consider a bind mount rather than using links.

The permission denied error implies the permissions are not sufficient for the user you are running sbbs as.

regards to putting the link to the folder on SDA?

A symlink? If yes, that shouldn't matter. But I see any details about a symlink in your message.
