Have you tried using cron for this? It's the tried-and-true method of running scheduled commands.

A good scheduler (For scheduled tasks that is) is Cron.

To invoke Transmission from the Command-line you just type in:
Therefore to run transmission everyday at 12 (noon I presume) using Cron I would try using something along the lines of (NOT tested):Code:transmission
Code:00 12 * * * transmission

cron will definately work, but can be a little arcane. You may want to look into something more graphical. I've used kalarm (I think) to do this sort of thing in the past.
