Apparantly I was running a _very_ old version. Never mind :)

Same problem for me. Got the error on 4.1 and 5.0.1.

I tried on Windows 8.1 through a network drive or UNC path. Still persists.

Any consideration would be appreciated, this is a major feature, but useless if 
it's not working at all.

Have you set the paths?

* Tools>Application Options>Paths.
* Add entries for each mapped drive, per the given examples.

I had the exact same issue until I did the above.

I have the same error, but I have this problem on Ubuntu Linux 14.04

I have set the paths in Transmission:
/home/common/Public=/home/personal/Public

My set-up:
/home/personal/Public is on my desktop computer a symlink to /mnt/Host/Public
/mnt/Host is on my desktop computer a cifs mount on smb://Host/Public
smb://Host/Public is a samba share on my server with Transmission on the path 
home/common/Public
