Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Transmission better. Please answer these questions:

• Is this reproducible?
• If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

I'm closing this bug report because it lacks the information needed to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. Thanks again!

I can reliably reproduce this (it's quite frustrating in fact). System is running a recent FreeNAS nightly, Transmission 1.91. Filesystem is mounted as "(ufs, local, soft-updates, acls)". When moving data, not only does the file not get moved, but it's also paused. Perhaps as a pause-move-unpause process that failed mid-execution? If I move to a directory without any spaces (in this instance, the parent), the move works fine and the torrent resumes seeding. I don't know what to tell you, it fails 100% reliably for me. What can I test? (Bear in mind this is a FreeNAS box, and I don't have the ability to simply compile from source. At least, I don't know how to.)

Update:
Re-examined my directory permissions... seems they were the issue. Directory was 755 root/wheel, changing to 777 or transmission's user resolved my issue.

There still remains the ancillary issue - Response is "success" when it clearly was not successful.

I am reverting this back to "closed"
