CentOS - Sep 2009 - mrepo - RHEL5

OK this is talking about downloading from rhn but does anyone have any 
tips with getting mrepo on a CentOS 5 box to be able to download from 
rhn reliably?

Seemingly everything is configured OK as it downloads a package or 2 but 
mainly bombs out with...

Error communicating with server. The message was:
Forbidden
 avalon-framework-manual-4.1  avalon-framework-manual-4.1  
avalon-framework-manual-4.1 rhnget: CommunicationError: Error 
downloading package avalon-framework-manual-4.1.4-2jpp.13.x86_64.rpm 
from rhel-x86_64-server-5. Skipping.
Error communicating with server. The message was:

    Deployment_Guide-en-US-5.2-11.noarch.rpm
rhel5-server-x86_64: Distribution updated (new: 1, removed: 0)

It manages to get the first package or 2 of a run but thats it -

Any clues?

thanks

You might get a bit more targeted exposure for your problem if you post
to the mrepo mailing list[1].  I seem to recall someone posting about
this issue recently[2].  No responses yet however...
