Tor still complains about wrong permissions of /var/run/tor directory when started by vidalia under regular user, but that is completely different issue, I guess: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642223 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Ok, that script looks like it creates /var/run/tor - what happens when
you remove the one you created and try to run the init script? If it
doesn't work, try with bash -x /etc/init.d/tor.
