I sent .17 BTC from my wallet on blockchain.info to a receiving address 1NLQZ7ZUA4JcoYU7uKTX3FDJ3buLinNJK8 contained in my installation of version 0 .7.2 of the Satoshi client. If I look this transaction up on blockchain.info there are 7 confirmations. When I open the Satoshi client  my wallet shows a zero balance even though my blockchain database is completely up to date and there is a green check mark in the bottom right of my bitcoin software.

Have I somehow lost these coins? Is there a way to make them appear? Thanks very much.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

For next 3 days, I am offering a .05 BTC bounty to the first person to tell me how to recover the coins.

Run Bitcoin-Qt with the -rescan switch.

Just sent .05 BTC to theymos. The re-scan solution worked like a charm. Thank you.

Another, much slower and klunkier way of getting your wallet to re-read the transactions is to install a newer version of the client which causes the database to be re-indexed and when it is finally finished the missing transaction shows up.

Thanks.

It's good that you upgraded. Upgrading is required before May 15.
