FME Server will not create new geodatabase

We're trying to create a new geodatabase but are getting the following error:

 

Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified.842021-4-14 08:54:44

Could not open File Geodatabase dataset `\\\\srvarcgis\\data\\Projects\\Data\\test.gdb' for writing

 

I have verified that FME Server has read/write access to that path by reading from a file and by writing to a different file format (CSV), so it's not CIFS permissions issues. We have also tried both geodatabase APIs (FGDB and Open FGDB).

 

The issue occurs regardless which user is used to run the workbench. The issue occurs on multiple workbenches.

 

What else could we try looking at?

Is the FME Server Engine service running as a proper domain user, and not Local System?

See https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Running_System_Services_Under_Different_Accounts.htm

If yes, the first thing to verify is that the service user (and not the FME Server login user) has sufficient rights to create folders on the target share.

Yes, the service is run as an AD user and we've verified that other formats can read/write from the directory.

Have you looked in the process monitor log on FME Server? Perhaps also look in the Windows event log.
