EDIT: Solution was to create
mkdir /home/urbackup
chown urbackup:urbackup /home/urbackup
The attempt to create /home/benek/urbackup did notwork in spite of chmod, chown, setfacl (that one should have solved the problem I think but it failed for some reason).
For example I don’t know why this did not work:
setfacl -m u:urbackup:rwx /home/benek/urbackup
setfacl -m g:urbackup:rwx /home/benek/urbackup
Anyhow, the problem went away. Will continue to explore the fantastic software.
This is a fresh fedora 23 installation.

I need to store backups at /home/benek/urbackup
Permissions:
From ls -l
drwxr-xr-x. 2 urbackup urbackup 4096 Aug 10 10:07 urbackup
getfacl /home/benek/urbackup/
getfacl: Removing leading ‘/’ from absolute path names
file: home/benek/urbackup/
owner: urbackup
group: urbackup
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::r-x
Setting the path /home/benek/urbackup results in an error
The directory where UrBackup will save backups is inaccessible. Please fix that by modifying this folder in 'Settings' or by giving UrBackup rights to access this directory.(err_folder_not_found)
Is it a problem that /home is a separate file system?
mount |grep fedora
/dev/mapper/fedora–server-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/mapper/fedora–server-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
