I ended up writing a much improved version of my python script that does what SABnzbd's sorter does without relying on categories. I'll post it here if anyone else is interested in using it, it will look through all files in the START_PATH directory and rename them if it recognizes them as TV shows, it matches most naming formats. It will then move them to DESTINATION_PATH\Show\Season X (if it has seasons)\Show S0XEXX.ext. So if a show has a date it will be put into the Dest_path\Show\ directory. It will also rename and move any files that it recognizes as being in the wrong place.
My script should be Linux/OSX compatible too since it's written in Python.
Edit: I made some refinements to the code so it will also match files with spaces and underscores and removed some unnecessary parts
Edit2: I fixed a bug where the script crashed if movies were present. Added movie rename support since it coincided with fixing this bug.
Edit3: Added support for shows like S01E02E03
# This script sorts tv and movie files by identifying frequently used naming schemes
#
# TV files sent to tvdest\show\season\Show S0x E0x.ext
# Movie files sent to movdest\Movie Title.ext
#
# Read comments & edit formatting section of script yourself to modify the file name
# Edit the main loop to change how directories are laid out
#
# Edit the paths below to specify the starting path, tv and movie destination directories.
TV_DESTINATION = "D:\\Videos\\TV"
MOV_DESTINATION = "D:\\Videos\\Movies"
START_PATH = "D:\\Downloads\\Usenet"
