Can you try to just run it on the command line and see what occurs.

tor likes to run with the least amount of privileges.....so that could be the issue...
I never run TOR with root access.....
I might be wrong.....but im pretty sure yer trying to run it as root...
open a shell as a user...[run tor].........watch it connect....then connect with yer programs you want to run behind it
