Those files were 'copied' cp-ish ? Copy not cares for ownerships.
Tor generates files if tor can not find or can access them. Your
original files might be overwritten now.

On Freebsd it should be like:
# ls -alo /var/db/tor
-rw-------   1 _tor  _tor   - date/time fingerprint
... more files ...
drwx------   2 _tor  _tor   - date/time keys
# ls -alo /var/db/tor/keys/
-rw-------  1 _tor  _tor  - date/time secret_onion_key
... more files ...

chown can heal it:
# chown -R _tor:_tor /var/db/tor
# chown -R _tor:_tor /var/db/tor/keys

I hope I got your points.
Please check before you type, it's your world.
