Export job JoeUser.1
completion status: running; com
Resolution
In this case, the ownership and permissions were incorrect in the export directory, shown above as: /media/retain/archives/export/JoeUser
The /export folder ownership should be tomcat:tomcat with permissions of 700
The user folders beneath /export should have an ownership of tomcat:tomcat and permissions of 755.
Once this has been properly configured, the export will work after that.
