Do you have the file:
/usr/share/man/man3/strerror.3
?

Your manpath seems to be correct, so I don't think that's the problem.
You might be simply missing some files.
Check the following:
[Tor:share/man/man3] tor% pwd
/usr/share/man/man3
[Tor:share/man/man3] tor% ls | wc -l
     2542

That's from a base install.
