[solved] launching rtorrent into urxvt from bash

I have a bash script running as a deamon and when the time is right it launches my torrents (when I'm asleep)

It runs perfectly well with terminator and xterm but not with urxvt

here is the line that calls it

urxvt -e "rtorrent -o http_capath=/etc/ssl/certs" &

substitute urxvt for terminator or xterm and it works, urxvt it does not.

Sad to say I had no new downloads this morning sad

Anyone know how to adjust that line so it works?

It works if you remove the quotes;

urxvt -e rtorrent -o http_capath=/etc/ssl/certs &

With the quotes urxvt treats the whole thing as the exec name, for some reason. (Same with screen).
