Can't change download location to certain directories, location becomes ~.

[Exeleration-G]

Using transmission-gtk 2.51 in Ubuntu 12.04.

Whenever I click Preferences --> Downloads, and then the field next to 'Download Location', I can't select it to be /mnt/Data/Torrentdownloads: the download location will be changed to ~. Strangely enough, I can change it to /mnt/Data. Browsing to /mnt/Data/Torrentdownloads via 'Other Location' doesn't work either.

I just noticed that removing /mnt/Data/Torrentdownloads, and then recreate it, made it possible again to get this as the download location.

As of today, the problem reappeared. The download location now defaulted to an other directory.
