 > All entries are highlighted in blue, so I guess, arm thinks its correct
 to save an empty file?

 Arm uses 'GETINFO config-text' (the same method as Vidalia) for fetching
 the current config values from Tor so if that's empty then Tor thinks that
 everything matches the defaults. Some of your options (like the
 SocksListenAddress) match the defaults so arm should give you a notice
 about them, and drop them from the saved file. However, most are custom.

 Are you positive that Tor is loading this torrc? These results would make
 perfect sense if Tor hadn't loaded any configuration (and hence were using
 the defaults for everything).

 I'll give this a shot after work. Cheers! -Damian
