You are making a directory that even root can't cd into.

By default, FreeBSD's tor and tor-devel port want to store logs inside
/var/log/tor/ regardless of what you put in the /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc
file last I looked.

This is step-by-step just to illustrate what you're actually doing.

mkdir /var/log/tor;

chown _tor:_tor /var/log/tor;

mkdir chmod 700 /var/log/tor;

touch /var/log/tor/tor.log;

chmod 600 /var/log/tor/tor.log;

g
