Ah, could it be that you are using the BindToInterface option in tinc.conf? I
just checked, that would cause connections to localhost to fail. If you really
do need to bind to a specific interface, use BindToAddress = <address of interface>
instead.

If that is not the problem, could you send me a copy of your tinc.conf?
