I would probably write a shell script and pass the parameters  
individually, rather than trying to figure out the right syntax to  
have rtorrent concatenate them. Something like

execute=move-script.sh,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_custom1=

Then you can pass other parameters too as you like, such as info hash  
or name etc.

As for figuring out script problems, use the execute_log option.
