Created a torrent, but deluge-console will not start seeding.

Hi there,
I'm running Deluge on a headless Ubuntu server, and I'm trying to create a torrent and start seeding it. These are my steps so far:
1. Create torrent. You cannot create a torrent file using deluge on the command line, so I use transmission to create the torrent instead:
2. I then add this torrent file through the deluge-console with
This all works fine, but the torrent only gets this far:
If I'm correct, there should be a line saying "seeding" after that third line.
Anyway, according to the info for this torrent:
For some reason it says "Downloading", which is strange because the original file is on the same computer and does not need to be downloaded at all (the torrent file should be pointing to a file on the same computer).
What might be preventing deluge from seeding this torrent?
Note: I have been able to seed torrents on my local computer, but only if I created them in my Downloads folder. I'm thinking this problem may be due to some sort of folder configuration, but so far my attempts at fixing it that way haven't worked.
