I'm using flexget , youtube-dl and transmission to download my subscriptions to youtube.

pi@raspbmc:/home/jose$ /usr/bin/youtube-dl -v

This is an error in the FlexGet process which is raised before youtube-dl even gets to start. Most likely, check your ulimit settings and look (with htop or so) whether you have a surprising amount of processes running.
