I might have found the problem. My first configuration was for a
private bridge relay and the configuration file included the line:

PublishServerDescriptor 0

I just changed it to:

PublishServerDescriptor 1

And restart the Tor daemon. The log file now says:

Aug 17 11:32:39.000 [notice] Now checking whether ORPort
174.49.19.50:9001 and DirPort 174.49.19.50:9030 are reachable... (this
may take up to 20 minutes -- look for log messages indicating success)
Aug 17 11:32:41.000 [notice] Self-testing indicates your DirPort is
reachable from the outside. Excellent. Aug 17 11:32:42.000 [notice]
Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside.
Excellent. Publishing server descriptor. Aug 17 11:32:49.000 [notice]
Performing bandwidth self-test...done.

Which is different from the previous configuration's log in that it
includes the comment "Publishing server descriptor". 

Thanks for the help!
