SLSKD permissions issue is getting me ready to tear my hair out.

Help!

Long story short. I have SLSKD ***mostly*** working with Lidarr.

I have an unraid setup and I'm using Lidarr with the Tubifary plugin.

I have SLSKD set as my downloader.

I can request music with no issues, download with no issues, etc.

Here is the issue: When Lidarr goes to import the music into the media library I get a permissions issue. After some digging around I have noticed that SLSKD is downloading the files with root permissions. I double checked my SLSKD container setup and it doesn't look like it respects the PUID, PGID, or UMASK....

Am I missing something? As soon as I manually set the files to 99:100 on the server Lidarr immediately picks the files up and imports them. What am I missing with SLSKD that is preventing me from setting proper permissions for it?

Added Context: I followed the TRaSH guides for folder setup to work with atomic moves and hardlinks.
