Why does this rtorrent.rc prevent pausing torrents

[metal.lunchbox]

I'm running rtorrent 0.8.6/0.12.6 with the rtorrent.rc below. I have watch directories set up and all the torrents picked up from the watch directory will automatically resume after a few seconds if I try to pause them. This is not a problem with manually added torrents. Can you find the problem? Everybody that uses rtorrent uses watch directories why should mine be a problem?

#.rtorrent.rc

# Global upload and download rate in KiB. "0" for unlimited.
download_rate = 400
upload_rate = 72

# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory = /home/robot/watch

# Default session directory. Make sure you don't run multiple instance
# of rtorrent using the same session directory. Perhaps using a
# relative path?
session = /home/robot/.rtorrent

# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
# deleted.

# Check hash for finished torrents. Might be usefull until the bug is

check_hash = no

# Set whetever the client should try to connect to UDP trackers.
use_udp_trackers = yes

# The example value allows incoming encrypted connections, starts unencrypted
# outgoing connections but retries with encryption if they fail, preferring

#
encryption = allow_incoming,enable_retry,prefer_plaintext

# Enable DHT support for trackerless torrents or when all trackers are down.
# May be set to "disable" (completely disable DHT), "off" (do not start DHT),
# "auto" (start and stop DHT as needed), or "on" (start DHT immediately).
# The default is "off". For DHT to work, a session directory must be defined.
#
dht = auto

# UDP port to use for DHT.

dht_port = 6881

# Enable peer exchange (for torrents not marked private)

peer_exchange = yes

"schedule = tied_directory,10,10,start_tied="

automatically restarts the torrents in the watch folder. I removed it, problem solved.
