Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System:

qBt v3.3.13 built from git (head in label v3_3_x), latest raspbian/dietpi Linux DietPi 4.9.35-v7+ #2 SMP Tue Jul 4 18:28:37 UTC 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version:

libtorrent 1.0.11 built from git (head in label RC_1_0), qtbase5-dev 5.7.1+dfsg-3+rpi1 (stretch)

What is the problem:

Tried to run qbittorrent-nox via a service entry, but qb-nox claims --profile cmd line option is unknown

What is the expected behavior:

Ability to define where the config files reside while running qb-nox as a daemon

Steps to reproduce:

sudo service qbittorrent start

pi@DietPi:~$ cat /etc/systemd/system/qbittorrent.service
[Unit]
Description=qBittorrent Daemon Service
After=network.target

ExecStart=/usr/bin/qbittorrent-nox -d --webui-port=8099 --profile=/home/pi/.config/qBittorrent
ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall -w qbittorrent-nox

[Install]

Will be available in 3.4.0, or you can compile code from Git master branch.
