What steps will reproduce the problem?

2. added:

    "script-torrent-done-enabled": true, 
    "script-torrent-done-filename": "/home/mario/torrentexpander/torrentexpander.sh",

to 

/$HOME/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

3. the script never gets triggered by transmission-daemon but works fine in

Hi
You should take a look at this bug report
http://code.google.com/p/torrentexpander/issues/detail?id=66&can=1
To sum things up : Transmission may be run from a different user that does not 
have execute privileges on torrentexpander or write privilege on your 
destination directory.

Please let me know how that works for you

Won't changing user in transmission from transmission-daemon to user introduce 
security issues?

Will this work from 
http://linuxplained.com/install-transmission-web-interface-on-ubuntu-1204/

"It is recommended that Transmission runs under it’s own username for 
security reasons. This creates a few issues with file and folder access by 
Transmission as well as your account (let us assume it is user). You will have 
to create a new set of folders for Transmission to read/write/execute (example: 
transmission folder containing these subfolders: completed, incomplete, and 
torrents). The account mario also needs full control over these folders and 
their contents. I recommend reading this post 
<http://linuxplained.com/safely-change-primary-group-group-in-linux/>to 
familiarize yourself with safely changing user groups and permissions."

First, cd to the desired folder and create a folder for Transmission to use:
cd /home/user/Downloads
mkdir transmission
cd transmission
mkdir completed incomplete torrents

Then, add the username to the group debian-transmission:

sudo usermod -a -G debian-transmission user

This will add debian-transmission as a secondary group to the account user, 
resulting in access to both Transmission and user. Then, change the ownership 
of the Transmission download folders to the group debian-transmission:

sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/user/Downloads/transmission

Next, change the permissions for the transmission download folders to allow 
read, write, and execute for Transmission and mario:

sudo chmod -R 775 /home/user/Downloads/transmission
