This should be :node.vtbit

Here's your problem.  This should be :userid.masrelay

MASRELAY isn't the name of the Relay, it's the userid of the Buffalo Relay.

Fix your entry for the Buffalo Relay in your names file and you
will be able to use both TELL and XYZZY to get on.

May the farce be with you.
