That looks right, so it suggests that your preferences file is not being 
read, or that you have two in different locations.

As others have said you can check the options file in your profile.  If 
that looks correct, then you have to find out why that profile is not 
being used when you download.

If you want us to be able to help you further, you'd probably need to 
give us an example of a download command-line that fails to use the 
correct directory, or are you using the web-interface, which I don't use 
and therefore know little about, but which may have a different method 
of configuring defaults?
