Tor and Privoxy on Mac OS X 10.4.11

[Fox Mulder]

No, there aren't any tor error messages in any log file. I tried  
uninstalling Tor, Privoxy, and Vidalia and installed a fresh copy of  
the "experts" package and connecting to a site using Torbutton in  
Firefox, and once again I got the typical error:

    503  	
This is Privoxy 3.0.6 on localhost (127.0.0.1), port 8118, enabled
Connect failed

Your request for http://ipid.shat.net/iponly/ could not be fulfilled,  
because the connection to ipid.shat.net (127.0.0.1) could not be  
established.

It doesn't matter how many times I try, I always get this message,  
for any site using the "experts" package of Tor and Privoxy under  
10.4.11. Ideas for tracking down the problem and a solution are welcome.
