When I run arq_restore, it attempts to make a connection to "https://s3.textmate.org" #8

I've cloned the source and can't find any reference to that string. That seems to resolve to a legitimate s3 amazonaws.com ip but, it seems strange that "s3.amazonaws.com" isn't used in the first place.

Just concerned that the binary available here: http://sreitshamer.github.com/arq_restore/ was compromised.

I'm guessing "s3.textmate.org" is reported by Little Snitch, which is giving you the wrong impression. It's an alias for s3.amazonaws.com.

It was, indeed, brought to my attention by Little Snitch. I did a traceroute and saw that it went to "s3-1.amazonaws.com" (for me) but was concerned that I had just posted my s3 credentials to some rouge url once I didn't find a reference to that string in the source.

Thanks for the confirmation that all is well.
