I just tried this myself (as I'd like to do the same thing on my server.)

I just installed transmission-cli and clutch,  and I have a good
looking GUI at http://host/clutch  (not transmission as you reported)

I also get that same download php issue :-(
I'll poke at this some more after I get my server updated and other
stuff out of the way.  Let me know if you get a solution!
