Issue with Transmission daemon in 8.0.4 Multimedia

[almagest]

Hello all.

I've been trying to setup up the Transmission daemon on my Freenas-box the last few days, but to no avail.

The service wont start, but i can start the daemon from cli?

Excerpt from /var/log/messages

Code:

May 31 00:10:21 freenas transmission-daemon: transmission-daemon Error loading config file -- exiting. (daemon.c:462)

..am i really trying to start the service multiple times somehow?

Starting the service gives..

Code:

[root@freenas] ~# service transmission start
Starting transmission.
TERM: Undefined variable.
/etc/rc.d/transmission: WARNING: failed to start transmission

But if i try the daemon directly;

Code:

[root@freenas] ~# transmission-daemon -g /mnt/nas/torrents/transmission/
[root@freenas] ~# ps -Al | grep transmission
    0  2649     1   0  45  0 22420  5248 nanslp Ss    ??    0:00.02 transmission-daemon -g /mnt/nas/torrents/transmission/
    0  2651  2626   0  44  0  8976  1400 piperd S+     0    0:00.00 grep transmission
[root@freenas] ~#

My /conf/base/etc/rc.conf

Code:

transmission_enable="YES"
transmission_conf_dir="/mnt/nas/torrents/transmission"
transmission_watch_dir="/mnt/nas/torrents/watch"
transmission_download_dir="/mnt/nas/torrents/finished"
transmission_user="www"

My /conf/base/etc/rc.d/transmission

Code:

: ${transmission_enable:="YES"}
: ${transmission_user:="www"}
: ${transmission_conf_dir="/mnt/nas/torrents/transmission"}
: ${transmission_download_dir="/mnt/nas/torrents/finished"}

I've verified that these directories exists, and they were chowned with www:www.

I found a nice walk-through here in the forum, where post #92 seems to be verified by other users as well;

Also followed #42 in the same thread;

I've followed the steps in these tutorials multiple times, even removing the files/folders that were created during the steps.

Additional info;
I've upgraded my Freenas-box to FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE_MULTIMEDIA-p2-x64 (11405).
Besides the transmission-stuff, everything is working fine.

Can anyone please give me a hint toward solving this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Regards.
Andreas.
