Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I'm not sure precisely what's failing here. The download seems to work fine on in other directories, it's just this (Samba-mount) dir that's giving me problems. I download lots of videos in this directory and things were working fine until recently. Can you help me understand what causes UnavailableVideoError: [Errno 13] Permission denied so I can fix it on my system?
