bittorrent core initialiazation failure

I'm having problems with bittorrent assertion and exception errors. I understand how to read python code but not well enough to track down the problem. I haven't seen any other posts with this issue either. Here's the code:

Exception in thread bittorrent:240 in ?: corethread = threading.Thread(target=init_core, args=(mainloop,)):
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 243, in ?
    corethread.start()
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 197, in init_core
    init_torrents=False)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/BitTorrent/MultiTorrent.py", line 140, in __init__
    self._restore_state(init_torrents)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/BitTorrent/MultiTorrent.py", line 778, in _restore_state
    t = decode_line(line)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/BitTorrent/MultiTorrent.py", line 714, in decode_line
    t.working_path = t.working_path.decode('utf-8')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/BitTorrent/Torrent.py", line 247, in _set_working_path
    self.config['working_path'] = value
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/BitTorrent/prefs.py", line 49, in __setitem__
    assert not isinstance(self._options[option], str) or

zsh: killed     bittorrent

I'm using version: bittorrent-4.20.4-1
I tried removing it from the cache and reinstalling, but that hasn't helped. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Removed ~/.bittorrent directory and all is well.
