Oh good. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out what I was not doing (is it permissions, is it syntax, did I misspell something, do I need absolute paths?). Now I can just chill and wait for the update. Thanks!
Also, with Deluge, I can specify either relative or absolute path to the downloads and torrent folders, but although it starts the download, completes it, and seeds, I can't find either the saved torrent files or the downloaded file in any of the places I have specified, or in the config directory either.
