Hey, I could be wrong, but i think the brake cable should engage the brake swing-arm's bolt in a clockwise manor (referencing your second picture), so as you tighten that bolt, it strengthens the grip on the cable, just hate to see people with bikes were they have loose brakes that constantly have "stretchy cables" even though they just need to wire them up a bit more solid.
