Every time I want to move files from my /bittorrent/incoming folder, I have to ssh into the 323, and chmod 777 the file, in order to move it. There has to be a better way... I used this guide to set up transmission..http://www.questionbin.com/blogcomment/D-Link-DNS-323-Hacking--SSH--Bittorrent--External-USB-Drive.html
any help would be much appreciated.

OK, I can move the file to my computer, but I cannot move the file to another directory located on the 323. What would cause this?

I think , but im not 100% sure , that if you change the owner name on the download directory from 'nobody' to your own samba login name that you should be able to move it to another folder.
I havent tried this myself yet , but i think it should work ok for your problem.

I just did a bit of playing about on my own and ill post the results once i download something new, but for now here is what i did.
1. I made a file /usr/sbin/chmod_downloads with the following command in the file (i used nano, but vi works too)
chmod 777 /mnt/HD_a2/bittorrent/ -R
where /mnt/HD_a2/bittorrent/incoming is my download folder (the -R is recuressive in chmod permissions)
2. I then set the file to have executable permissions by typing chmod 777 /usr/sbin/chmod_downloads
3. Next i made a crontab to run the permissions script every 20 minutes or so
copy the crontab to a text file :
CRONTXT=/mnt/HD_a2/crontab.txt /bin/crontab -l > $CRONTXT
nano /mnt/HD_a2/crontab.txt (or use vi)
and add in the following line to the bottom of the text file
01,21,41 * * * * /usr/sbin/chmod_downloads
then finish it off with
/bin/crontab $CRONTXT /bin/rm $CRONTXT

The problem is with the effective umask the transmission process is using to create files. Usually, it is set to 022, which sets the default permissions at file creation so that only the owner can write it. You want the effective umask to be 0 so that files are created so that all have write permission.
See this thread for a discussion and possible solution. I don't know if the solution will work for your particular version.
