Error: samtools merge: failed writing to "/path/to/juicer/UGER/aligned/merged_sort.bam": No such file or directory

Hello everyone,

I am very new to juicer. I am currently making a longread nanopore assembly of wild boar, and I want to scaffold this with pore-c data. I am trying to run juicer, but I get the error: 

Error: samtools merge: failed writing to "/path/to/juicer/UGER/aligned/merged_sort.bam": No such file or directory

When I look in this directory I do however see the merged_sort.bam file present. Does anybody know how to fix this, or what could be causing this?

Thanks!
