Comment (by arma):

 Taking a step back:
 {{{
 Couldn't open "./datadir-3hop/control_auth_cookie.tmp" (./datadir-
 3hop/control_auth_cookie) for writing: No such file or directory
 }}}

 Is Tor applying its "make the relative path absolute" algorithm twice
 here? That would be a bug, and one worth fixing.
