Failed to create upload/encoded-video/.immich

HI @ all
I'm pretty frustrated since the last updates the immich created more and more problems on my truenas system.

I'm running TrueNas Scale 25.04.1 on a i5 64GB Ram and 4 Drives (2x 3,5" HDD and 2x 2,5" SSD)

After the migration from icloud to immich and manually filtering duplicates etc I discovered that the smart search wasn't working - Logs said "but cache directory does not exist " after trying to download the models.

Ignoring that an update arrived and after that all fell apart - Now the immich app won't even start anymore. I checked the permissions, datasets etc. I deleted the datasets, created new ones and installed immich from scratch, I even installed Truenas completely new.

But NO, the app won't deploy anymore because of this error:

[31m[Nest] 28 - 06/06/2025, 6:15:19 AM  ERROR [Api:StorageService] Failed to create upload/encoded-video/.immich: Error: EACCES: permission denied, open upload/encoded-video/.immich'
2025-06-06 04:15:19.034657+00:00api worker exited with code 1

Please help me - I'm absolutely clueless what's going on and what needs fixing

Thank you in advance
