	I looked through the console logs, and couldn't find any errors  
relating to tor.  I'm kind of new to this osx (and unix) stuff.

Here's a snippet of the system.log around where I see the privoxy start:

I don't see anything having to do with the Tor startup script.  I'm  
wondering if it's trying to start before the network is up?

Yes, starts up with no problems.
