Hi Graham/Colin -- I did see that page before and ran through the items. No
problems pinging or connecting via telnet, and a different server
configured the same way (at roughly the same time, give or take a couple
days) connects just fine. Thought maybe ufw was getting in the way, so I
punched a hole for requests to tarsnap's IP (no effect), and disabled it
outright (also no effect).

I'm seeing no obvious permission errors (I'm actually running as root), and
I had also tried defining a new cache directory, which also didn't make any
difference.
