    Getting 'cannot bind mount' errors trying to run snap package filebot

    I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, fully up to date, and trying to use filebot from the snap package. The package installed fine but I'm unable to actually run filebot:
    Code:
    $ filebot
    cannot bind mount /var/lib/snapd/hostfs/var/lib/lxd -> /var/lib/lxd with flags 0x8500e. errmsg: Permission denied
    $ sudo filebot
    cannot bind mount /var/lib/snapd/hostfs/var/lib/lxd -> /var/lib/lxd with flags 0x8500e. errmsg: Permission denied
    $ snap list
    Name     Version  Rev  Developer    Notes
    core     16.04.1  641  canonical    -
    filebot  4.7.5    5    pointplanck  -
    I'll have to revert back to using the Deb package version from their website for now, but would be interested if anyone knows why the snap package isn't working?

    This seems to have been because I'd moved my /var/lib/lxd to another partition with more space and made /var/lib/lxd a symlink to it. I changed it around so /var/lib/lxd was a normal directory and I only moved and symlinked its containers, images and snapshots sub-dirs
