Problems while trying to set up a Private Relay



I'm trying to support some friends in China by setting up a private relay as public relays have been compromised and blocked by the Great Firewall.

I'm running TOR on an Intel Mac with OS 10.6.4

I went to Settings->Sharing and selected Help censored users ...

Created a Nickname
Entered Contact Info
Relay port 9001
Checked Mirror the Relay Dir, Dir Port 9030
Checked Auto config, test reports no U-PnP devices
A bridge access line was created and I passed this to one of my friends in China

The bridge was not successfully created.  Here is the log:

The host Mac is connected to my home LAN wirelessly through an Apple Airport
I am also running Little Snitch which controls outgoing communications, TOR is allowed any connection (completely open), Vidalia is allowed connections via TOR

Any suggestions on how to get the relay up and running?

TIA
