I figured that was the problem with not being able to lock the directory so I tried changing the owner before (and again). I killed the process and tried running it but still no luck, same error. When I reboot the server the screened rtorrent process owner is rtor, user rtor, and group rtor. This is what my /home/rtor/.rtorrent.rc file says:
Code:
# This is an example resource file for rTorrent. Copy to
# ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed. Remember to
# uncomment the options you wish to enable.

http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/

# This assumes the following directory structure:
#
# /Torrents/Downloading - temporaray location for torrents while downloading (see "directory")
# /Torrents/Complete - Torrents are moved here when complete (see "on_finished")
# /Torrents/TorrentFiles/Auto - The 'autoload' directory for rtorrent to use. Place a file
# in here, and rtorrent loads it #automatically. (see "schedule = watch_directory")
# /Torrents/Downloading/rtorrent.session - for storing rtorrent session information
