Rsyslog producing errors when trying to write to mounted drive

Could anyone take a look at this and see if I've done something obviously wrong? I am running RockyLinux and attempting to setup a syslog server. Its running with an Azure VM with an additional 2TB datadrive attached. I have mounted the drive in Rocky and amended fstab, confirming its presence upon reboot, and I can write to it. Rsyslog is all setup and configured and works fine if I leave the default settings and allow logs to be sent to /var/log but as soon as I point it to my datadrive I get permission errors. May 24 11:30:20 MyServer rsyslogd: error during config processing: Could not open dynamic file '/datadrive/syslogs/MyServer/rsyslogd.log' [state -3000] - discarding message [v8> May 24 11:30:20 MyServer rsyslogd: error during config processing: omfile: creating parent directories for file '/datadrive/syslogs/MyServer/rsyslogd.log' failed: Permission denied Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 4.0M 0 4.0M 0% /dev tmpfs 3.8G 0 3.8G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.6G 148M 1.4G 10% /run /dev/sda3 7.9G 1.8G 6.1G 23% / /dev/sda2 994M 430M 564M 44% /boot /dev/sda1 100M 7.0M 93M 7% /boot/efi /dev/sdb1 16G 28K 15G 1% /mnt tmpfs 769M 0 769M 0% /run/user/1000 /dev/sdc1 2.0T 15G 2.0T 1% /datadrive And the two directories have the same permissions and owners [myroot@MyServer log]$ pwd /var/log ....... drwx------. 2 root root 31 May 24 11:09 remote-device [myroot@MyServer /]$ pwd / ..... drwx------. 3 root root 21 May 24 10:03 datadrive The only thing I have noticed is that when I try to enter the data drive cd /datadrive and sudo cd /datadrive is not working, I have to issue sudo su before changing directory to /datadrive Could this be what is causing the issue? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
