So.. Err.. The consensus is the torque arm should be fitted fairly loosely - or at least loose enough to allow the brake to move backward with the wheel when adjusting the chain?
I can't see much harm in having it nipped up to being pretty solid - as has been said it shouldn't move except for when you adjust the chain / fit a new chain.
Edit - Only reason why I'd prefer to have it nipped up fairly hard is the fact that that is all that is stopping the rear brake from going on a whirlygig round the brake disk! Or at least moving a little horizontally.
