It probably was the problem. I built and installed a new mixmaster binary as echolot user and it works. The process doesn't crash anymore and I see that type2 stats are being taken in:

...
Aug 19 08:56:00 [INFO] registering pingdone from Sun Aug 19 08:50:59
2007 with latency 301 for mix at remailer.metacolo.com (mix;
134c535b461b5777fb77acf26c4fc344).
...

Finally!

Sorry for bothering and thanks for your reply,
it did make me realize permissions might have been too tight on my mix
directory (which isn't bad in itself) for echolot to use it. It was
indeed because of how I had installed it in the first place.

Cheers!
