I'm running into some really weird permissions issues, and I can't figure it out. For one thing, even in my home folder I have to use sudo to save any sort of file, for example a shell script saved in my home directory. and then some of my shell scripts are also requiring root to run. For example, my script that runs lftp runs fine, but my filebot script gives me this error unless I sudo it

Code:
Adding Movies to Library...

/home/user/.filebot/logs/amc.log (Permission denied)    

In the log file it says

Argument: /media/drivename/sourcefolder

Exception: File not found: /media/drivename/sourcefolder

Any ideas what's going on? I'm currently logged into the XBMCbuntu option.

make sure all files and directories in your $HOME belong to your user.

Code:
sudo chown -R username:username /home/username

replace "username" with your actual user. After that do not run anything as root anymore.
