Hi,
A couple of matters arising from the log after installing
https://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia-bundles/vidalia-bundle-0.2.1.22-0.2.6-ppc.dmg

"Jan 23 19:59:34.944 [notice] Tor 0.2.1.21 opening log file.
Jan 23 19:59:35.093 [warn] Unable to open "/var/run/Tor.pid" for writing: Permission denied"

 So it's still announcing itself as 0.2.1.21, and hasn't been able to run as group 'daemon' (hence the lack of write permission in /var/run/) .

Here's the slightly altered command in the autorun script:
/usr/bin/tor --hush -f /Users/tor/torrelay --runasdaemon 1 DataDirectory /Users/tor/tor --user tor --group daemon HashedControlPassword 16:<...> CookieAuthentication 0  --pidfile /var/run/Tor.pid

 (BTW, how do I map process group number (as output from ps -ajx -O gid) to the group name?)
 In this case I can see the group is the same as the user - both 'tor'.
