Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

I have a windows server running Lidarr with a seebox running ruTorrent. Both have a synchronized folder using syncthing. The setup used to work perfectly, but lately, whenever a torrent is completed in my seedbox, Lidarr seems to automatically try to import the files, which have not been synced yet, I then get a

Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Lidarr: D:\Downloads<torrent folder>. Ensure the path exists and the user running Lidarr has the correct permissions to access this file/folder.

This path is accurate and is mapped through the remote path mapping. It just doesn't exist yet.

Now the issue is that rather than waiting and retrying, it looks like Lidarr removes the torrent from my activity queue and import never happens. I can manually take the torrent folder, copy it to my music folder, and import manually, but this is far from an ideal set up.

Expected Behavior

I would expect Lidarr to retry until all files have been synced, or to give me an option to delay import.

This should not have been closed. This is a confirmed bug reported by 3 separate users. Lidarr tries once to import, and if nothing is there, it never checks again for files, and in some situations it reports it as "imported" even though there are no tracks imported.
