:SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/motion from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/motion.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests  ********************
:
:If you want to allow motion to have write access on the motion directory
:Then you need to change the label on /var/motion
:Do
:# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/var/motion'
:where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: tmpfs_t, zoneminder_var_lib_t, zoneminder_var_run_t, var_spool_t, var_log_t, var_lib_t, var_run_t, zoneminder_log_t, zoneminder_tmpfs_t, zoneminder_spool_t, root_t. 
:Then execute: 
:restorecon -v '/var/motion'
:
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that motion should be allowed write access on the motion directory by default.
:Then you should report this as a bug.
:You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
:Do
:allow this access for now by executing:
:# grep motion /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp
