Yes, I did the save the file. This is a given, sorry.
This may also be a given, but did you restart Tor after doing this? AFAIK (and I may be wrong), Tor does not read changes made to the torrc after initialization. 


I had added the ' SafeLogging 0 ' to the file as per Tor-ops
message/reply. Twenty four hours later when I saw that it had not
removed the ' scrubbed ' and replaced it with the node/address, I
checked the file again and it was not in the file where I put it.
Was Vidalia running when you edited the torrc? Vidalia (on Windows, at least) has a bad habit of overwriting changes to the torrc that it isn't aware of. Personally I think there should be a "Confirm before modifying torrc" checkbox in Vidalia. 



I just checked it now, It is still in the file, but the logs still
show the ' scubbed' and not the address as supposedly the '
SafeLogging 0 ' was to replace. Time wise it appears to be at a
minimum of once an hour. Which makes me believe it is the same address
that is being scrubbed.
Try shutting down both Tor and Vidalia, making your edits, restarting both, and rechecking your torrc/logs. If you've done all this, please let us know.

What do you mean by 'removed itself'? Was the file never saved, or was there a point at which something else reverted it, or was it something 
else entirely?

Also, which operating system are you using?

I saw a message from Tor-op in reference to a similar problem and his 
solution was:
Add the below line to your torrc and the scrubbed will be replaced by 
the domain in question.

SafeLogging 0
of which I tried, but it would not stay in the torrc file. It seems to 
remove it self at some point.

As far as I can tell it never worked, but unknown how long after I
placed it before it got removed.

I have noticed over the past 2 weeks, I have been getting an unusual 
amount of scrubs. It doesn't tell me which addresses are being
scrubbed, so I don't know if they are the same or different ones. It 
does not affect the operation of Tor. Just fills up the logs.

Is there a way to have the '[scrubbed]' removed and the address put
in its place?

Thanks,

Jon
