I forgot to mention that, but the daemon is running all the time... And half the time adding a torrent works, but I'd love to add torrents from cli too, because it's much easier when I'm on SSH.

Funny thing...
The command you gave me adds the torrent, but doesn't start the client. If I try the same command with the web-ui, it won't add the torrent, but start the webui... If I omit the -u parameter, deluge-gtk starts as expected, but the torrent isn't added.
Any more ideas?

Hey, I use Deluge 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit. I have one single problem, I can't add torrents from the command line when starting deluge without gtk. It's the same for the web, console or null ui, when calling like deluge -u console incoming/jaunty-desktop-i386.iso.torrent and when I change ui.conf ...
