Enabling Storage Engine does not move images

[glad pier]

Hello, I've been using Immich with basically the default settings (no template engine) for a while and have uploaded about 3000 images through the app's backup feature so far.

Recently I wanted to actually have the uploaded images in a usable folder structure to access outside of Immich so I enabled the Storage Template Engine.
I run on TrueNAS SCALE using the latest Immich version SCALE provides (1.115.0), though this has happened on previous versions as well.

What I did from the base setup (Storage Template engine disabled, uploads/ folder with unreadable names and directories such as a2/e0/.../<guid>.jpg):

• Set up storage labels for every account
• Set up some albums (though not every image is in an album)
• Set a library folder in the TrueNAS App Settings (/mnt/tank/apps/immich/library which should work as the upload folder is /mnt/tank/apps/immich/upload and was working fine)
• Enabled the Template Engine
• Set a template (I took it from a FAQ or GitHub page: {{y}}/{{#if album}}{{album}}{{else}}Other/{{MM}}{{/if}}/{{filename}}, though I also tried it without the conditionals beforehand)
• Ran the Storage Template Migration Job from the Jobs page (multiple times now)

If I read the docs correctly I thought all images should be moved to /library/ and be under the path set by the template once the migration job runs but nothing seems to happen in my case.

I'd love to read logs of perhaps the job to maybe see something there but I don't know where they would be stored.
Thanks in advance for any help

Turns out it's some EPERM: operation not permitted permission error I'll probably have to figure out outside of Immich; should be doable now I know where the logs are.
