Just to clarify:-
You now have a manually created user called 'echolot' with a homedir of
/home/echolot.

You've downloaded the echolot program from
http://echolot.alioth.debian.org/echolot-2.1.8.tar.gz
into /home/echolot.  Untar'd it which will create
/home/echolot/echolot-2.1.8

Configured /home/echolot/echolot-2.1.8/pingd.conf

Maybe.  If you want to publish your echolot stats via http then you'll
need an http daemon running.  This might require some symlinks to your
stats files depending on how you choose to configure it.

They are libraries, your Perl system should know how to find them.

I suggest you compile another copy of mixmaster into /home/echolot/Mix
and point your pinger at that.  It's quite possible to do everything
with a single instance of Mixmaster but it's easier to secure your
remailer if only your mix user has access to its homedir.

Not sure why my DNS records would help you.  Do you have an MX (mail
server) running on the same machine as Mixmaster?  Can it send/receive
email across the Internet?

Running a remailer is a doddle once you know how to do it.  Until then,
it's not.  :)
