transmission-daemon doesn't consider settings.json

Binary package hint: transmission-cli

Hi,
     I've installed transmission-daemon on my machine in order to control it from remote.

Everything works well but the fact that the settings.json configuration file is not obeyed.

As a startup script, since it is missing from the ubuntu package, I've used the suggested one (http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts/initd)

In my TRANSMISSION_HOME I've put the settings.json file, which has the following content:

{
    "rpc-enabled": 1,
    "upload-limit-enabled": 1,
    "upload-limit": 20,
    "peer-port" : 9091,
    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1",
}

What happens is that the upload rate limit is not obeyed. In particular, Transmission seems to not read the file at all, since in the GUI I see the unlimited setting. When I limit the upload rate using the GUI, it works correctly.
