I am getting the following error when trying to add to my distribution point on a secondary site:

SMS Distribution Manager failed to find or create the defined share or volume on distribution point "["Display=\\WGSMS06\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=BPA"]\\WGSMS06\" for distributing package "JWH000A1".

Possible cause: Windows NT distribution points might not have at least one available NTFS drive.
Solution: Verify that there is at least one NTFS drive with enough free disk space to store the package. Then, verify that the distribution point directory exists, has the proper permissions, and is accessible.

I've checked that the shares exist & the permissions are everyone full control on the shares. I've added the sms service account to the actual directories too.
It does appear to be sending the compressed package to the despooler.box & I am getting a PKG file but it still errors & doesn't register the packages as being installed on that distribution point so won't distribute to the clients.

Can anyone please help?
