Transmission daemon does not create directory in destination.

[jberzins]

I am adding a new torrent with transmission rpc.

1. If target destination directory exists the downloadable file is created.
2. If target destination directory does not exist transmission daemon does not try to create it and reports an error.

Scenario a:

1. Directory "/media/stuff/Shows/The Show/Season 1" exists
2. Add new torrent with location: "/media/stuff/Shows/The Show/Season 1/TheShowS01E01.mkv"
3. Result - File is being dowloaded to "/media/stuff/Shows/The Show/Season 1/TheShowS01E01.mkv"

Scenario b:

1. Directory "/media/stuff/Shows/The Show/" exists
2. Directory "/media/stuff/Shows/The Show/Season 1" does _NOT_ exist
3. Add new torrent with location: "/media/stuff/Shows/The Show/Season 1/TheShowS01E01.mkv"
4. Result - No such file or directory error.
5. Expected result - Directory "/media/stuff/Shows/The Show/Season 1" is created, file "TheShowS01E01.mkv" is created.

Scenario a log:
