You're using arm dangerously. See item #14 on https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-relay-debian for the safer way to run arm with your Debian / Ubuntu relay.

Wow, I always thought that *was* the "safe" way to run arm. I wonder where we both got the advice to do it the dangerous way.
It's worth noting that, under Debian (Jessie, others?), arm will be unable to read tor's logs if you run it as your user. The default group for /var/log/tor is 'adm'. You'll have to:
$ sudo chgrp -R debian-tor /var/log/tor
This will make the logs readable to you (and arm), but unreadable to any system monitoring tools that use the adm group.
