Unable to Start Daemon - No Access to Deluge Config

Environment:
Ubuntu 14.04 headless server
deluge 1.3.6
libtorrent 0.16.16.0

I have deluge setup using the daemon and webui. Was running fine until recently. Only changes on my end were installing OpenVPN due to a few ISP emails, and changing my sudo user password. Now for some reason when I try to start the daemon I get this message:

[Error] common:167 Unable to use default config directory, exiting... ([Errno13] Permission denied: "/home/user/.config/deluge')

to start it I type sudo start deluged, enter password, and receive message that is started process xxxxx. But looking at Webmin, it never starts. Trying to access webui just spins forever or goes to can't connect right away.

Have you tried specifying a config location that you do have permission to read/write from...

I thought I had done this, but apparently not restarted correctly afterwards. Chown /.config to user:deluge, reboot, daemon starts, no problem.
