Web server can't access rTorrent's session directory for read. ruTorrent will not work. (/home/user/.session/)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Simply lunch the rutorrent
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There shouldn't be any output but there is. Logger gives me this:

Web server can't access rTorrent's session directory for read. ruTorrent 
will not work. (/home/user/.session/)

Now I've got no idea why, cause rutorrent works just fine, and there are 
full rights, for everyone on that directory.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Archlinux, rutorrent latest, from the svn.

Please provide any additional information below.

It's not really a bug, I just don't have a clue why I see such error.

my open_basedir line in php.ini

Ok but why there is such error if everything works just fine, there must be 
some 
mistake in checking script. This notice should be shown only in case of an 
actual 
error.

In version 2.4 or something I haven't got such issue.

on php 5.2.x you don't have such error. On php 5.3.x some things had changed.
Correct me if I'm wrong

BTW.
i've made mistake. it should be 
open_basedir = 
/srv/http/:/home/kwant/session:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/bin/:/bin/

Really DOES'T everything works fine. This error is a result of simple thing -
ruTorrent can't obtain uid of rTorrent user. As result:
1) Some plugins (choice, create, etc) will work incorrectly. For example, create
plugin will give to user access to all directories on disk (must be - only 
dirs, for
which rTorrent user has read access)
2) Some diagnoctic (for example - is rTorrent user has acces to php 
interpreter?)
will be unavailable.
Etc.

gpasswd -a http user (maybe don't work)
chmod 710 /home/user

This solves the problem, but you need to add http to users group, not a user 
group. 
I didn't need to add anything to my php.ini file after all.
