Is your bitcoin client set to connect by socks4 proxy at default? If it's not set up you simply won't gather any blocks or establish any connections. Payment has taken place, however, I have 26 confirmations logged here.

Yeah, it should be with you now. It takes around 8 confirmations of the transaction before the coin is available. As a rule of thumb, a confirmation takes about 10-15 minutes. So if you're sending these coins into silkroad, expect a few hours wait before you can purchase anything.
I remember when I first started using silkroad in June, panicking because my 300 dollars worth of bitcoins (about 9 at the time  ;D), had left my wallet and 4 hours later were still nowhere to be seen. Patience young meemz...
