I know this is an old thread, but this bug was also affecting me on
Ubuntu 15.10.
Removing ~/.config/transmission/ also fixed the problem for me

Inspired by Nick's tip I've renamed ~/.config/transmission/settings.json
and ~/.config/transmission/dht.dat but kept resume and torrents folders
intact. The error is gone.

Anyone know a workaround? Transmission is completely useless with this
bug.

Title:
Permission denied errors when writing on any target drive
I did a fresh install of 12.04, but kept my home directory intact.
After quitting transmission, completely removing my transmission
settings folder and starting transmission again, I no longer get this
error.
rm -rf ~/.config/transmission/
I should have moved it aside, rather than remove it, so
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu)
Status: New = Confirmed
