ReadyNAS NVX - transmission 2.82 not starting

Hello everyone,

I have an Ultra 4 Plus running 4.2.25 and I cannot get Transmission to work. I had 2.80 working at one point, but after upgrading to 2.82 I always got the "Transmission service failed to start" error.
I tried to reverting back to 2.80 to see if that would fix things ... didn't help, same error. I also tried the 2.83 linked in this thread but no dice.

my settings.json file is shown below

Thanks in advance
