Why in the pastebin in the debugging line is the version of sync the older one:

1407393996002 Sync.Service DEBUG User-Agent: Firefox/33.0a2 FxSync/1.35.0.20140806004002.

More info on self hosting can be found here: https://blog.mozilla.org/services/201.../firefox-accounts-sync-1-5-and-self-hosting/ where you can also ask this in the #sync IRC channel or https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev join the dev mailing list to get a more technical answer.

Are you using the first method? Where the Firefox server is the authenticating server and the hosted server is your own?

It fails to login because it flags it already has a token, but 401 failed to Get the collections at your server, these are strange errors and I am not an expert, please do ask your question in the mailing list, the technical eye will be able to catch the issue much quicker.
