Is /dev/sdb1 auto-mounted?

yes, it is auto mounted with fstab using block-mount

I would suggest putting torrents in /mnt/sdb1/download/ subdirectory so that transmission does not start dropping data files in a directory before mounted?

did that but no improvement

Stop transmission, unmount sdb1 and check for files under mount, probably delete them all , it should be a directory empty wit 0000 permissions.

Post ubus call system board , low memory devices may have truble with btrs or even FAT32.
