Error in PMS when trying to move plexdata

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Using most recent stable version and following @ChuckPa advise in another post here, I am trying to move into a folder that is a mount and following the process here, I cannot seem to get anything to move even though I do have permissions set and believe I have stopped the service. What I end up with is:

tar: ./Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata/Artists/7/f6e018f27818a9326ba1b0a9625931168649270.bundle/Contents/com.plexapp.agents.plexmusic/Info.xml: Cannot open: No such file or directory

tar: ./Library: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied

tar: ./Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata/Artists/7/f6e018f27818a9326ba1b0a9625931168649270.bundle/Contents/_combined: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory

tar: ./Library: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied

tar: ./Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata/Artists/7/f6e018f27818a9326ba1b0a9625931168649270.bundle/Contents/_combined/Info.xml: Cannot open: No such file or directory

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

mark@morpheus:/var/lib/plexmediaserver$ ls

Library

mark@morpheus:/var/lib/plexmediaserver$

Error on error and nothing ends up in the new location. What could I be doing wrong? This in in Ubuntu 18. Thanks much.

Anyone? @ChuckPa ?

Did you forget sudo to write with root privilege perhaps?

I did use sudo. In fact, the command(s) I ran were:

sudo tar cf - ./Library | (cd /raid/plexdata ; tar xf -) as I was in the path of /var/lib/plexmedi.....

No further ideas?

If I add in a GUI, can I do it that way or does it require cmd line interaction on a systemd setup?
