This is because you specified it both as a nickname and as a key. You should specify it just as a key, and this warning will go away: ExcludeNodes $3B1CD4DC4863DD1013E7C35A6F475C28946AB909 > Aug 14 03:43:00.345 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. > Looks like client functionality is working. > Aug 14 03:45:06.111 [notice] We tried for 15 seconds to connect to > '[scrubbed]' using exit 'nami'.

You should add 'SafeLogging 0' to your torrc to see what the value of [scrubbed] is, but I suspect this is DirPort reachability testing. Are you *sure* you're looking at your Tor client's logs? It looks more like your Tor server's logs. --Roger
