Are you still seeing this?

Could you please provide the output of that command?

You could also try running something like:

   strace transmission-daemon

And see if you can find anything that stands out as different between a
failing and a successful run.

Also, I can't reproduce this here.  If I don't hear back from you in a
couple of weeks, I'll just close this as unreproducible.
