It means /dev/null wasnt created by the tor-chroot script, the line is
mknod -m 0666 $CHROOTDIR/dev/null c 1 3

I run the scripts on Debian and haven't had any problems with them, they
are not tested on any other distribution or operating system so using
them on something other then Debian might be a gamble.
