This error can also happen if you have imported folders and files to your seedbox from elsewhere. You can fix these either by FTP or SSH.
SSH: Login to your slot and use the following command: sudo chmod -R 777 /home/seedit4me/path_to_the_ folder
FTP: Login to your slot, find the folder and/or files, right click them and (depending on your client) select 'file persmissions'. Set it to 777 and click OK / Save.
