XMLRPC updates not taking effect until restart of rtorrent

[rtorrent-bug@downagain.com]

When I update a torrent's directory via XMLRPC, it doesn't change until after client restart.

Example outputs:

root@media:~# xmlrpc localhost d.set_directory B2811AE998D3D375C512B489336812BD916DCB9C /tmp
Result:

Integer: 0
root@media:~# xmlrpc localhost d.multicall "started" "d.get_base_path=" "d.get_hash="
Result:

Array of 1 items:
  Index  0 Array of 2 items:
             Index  0 String: '/shared/television/Heroes/Heroes.S04E01E02.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION'
  
root@media:~# /etc/init.d/rtorrent restart
Restarting rtorrent: rtorrent.
root@media:~# xmlrpc localhost d.multicall "started" "d.get_base_path=" "d.get_hash="
Result:

Array of 1 items:
  Index  0 Array of 2 items:
             Index  0 String: '/tmp/Heroes.S04E01E02.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION'
             Index  1 String: 'B2811AE998D3D375C512B489336812BD916DCB9C'

My understanding is that changes via XMLRPC should take effect immediately. Restarting after each torrent download isn't ideal.

Could it please be resolved, or a pointer to how I can resolve it myself be provided?

Many thanks, Jonathan.

I am using rtorrent 0.8.5 and libtorrent 0.12.2.

You are supposed to close and reopen the torrent after changing the directory.
