[tor-relays] GeoIPFile option warning

I am seeing these warnings in Tor's notices.log:

Mar 24 09:42:21.000 [notice] Configured to measure directory request 
statistics, but no GeoIP database found. Please specify a GeoIP database 
using the GeoIPFile option.
Mar 24 09:42:21.000 [notice] Configured to measure entry node 
statistics, but no GeoIP database found. Please specify a GeoIP database 
using the GeoIPFile option.

However the option is set in torrc and i verified the files are at those 
locations and readable by all:

GeoIPFile /usr/local/share/tor/geoip
GeoIPv6File /usr/local/share/tor/geoip6

Any hints how i could check whether the warnings are spurious or dump 
what the running config actually is?  I know it is reading the torrc 
because introducing an error in the file stops it from loading.
