There's a BIG mistake there, can you spot it?

watch-dir is set over one of the daemon's own configuration directories. Not only inside the config-dir, but with the same name as the directory created and used by the daemon.

Get rid of that! Either disable watch-dir, or change it to somewhere else, far and away from Transmission's configuration ;-)

hi, it is an old post, but i have an idea.
you have to define an own "Configuration Directory" too, when you define a "watch directory". if you don't define it, the default folder can be destroyed, if the NAS is restarting. it can happend, if the NAS loads the system into a virtual drive in the memory at the start.
