In fact the problem is with rtorrent. On rtorrent interface when a torrent is 
added to the watch directory, it is added but as [CLOSED] download.

In rtorrent CLI, I need to manually start the download.
My schedule in .rtorrent.rc is : 
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,"load_start=./.watch/*.torrent"

Same problem at : http://forums.rutorrent.org/index.php?topic=4159.0

I'm having the same problem, I can tell for sure that it's related to rutorrent.
It works fine on rtorrent by itself (both running on another user, or if I 
close rtorrent, remove the line on .rtorrent.rc that runs rutorrent initscripts 
and then run it).

Right now I'm trying to find out exactly which plugin is stopping it. If I find 
anything out, will post here.

Btw, using irssi-audl default install of rutorrent.

Found the culprit, retrackers plugin.
This plugin on start of a torrent, stops it, so that it can change it's torrent 
file to append a tracker.
Even if no trackers are added it'll still stop the torrent.
