Deluge crashes at startup when torrents are in autoadd folder / autoadd folder does not work

[mostly.hated.on@gmail.com]

When I place a single torrent into my torrent watch folder when Deluge is closed and not running and then launch Deluge, Deluge fails to complete loading. I get the window for deluge, but it remains solid white. I can see "deluge" and sometimes "deluged" as well running as a process but the deluge window freezes and never loads.

The autoadd folder does not work.

Using Ubuntu v8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) with all of the latest updates.
