/data is usually a directory that contains all the finished torrent data. This means it's probably shared with other services. Setting the owner by default to "991:991" or to anything is very annoying. It means other services will stop working because of (re)starting rtorrent.
Wouldn't it be better to check permissions, log a warning if read/write is not permitted and stop?
