It sounds like your data directory was either erased, or configured to be a different directory.
Did you make a backup before the updates?

Also, since your relay was on the fallback directory list for 0.2.8.4-rc, and its fingerprint has changed, we're going to remove it.
Once you've sorted out this issue, let me know, and I'll put it on the whitelist for consideration in 0.2.9.
