troubles with custom repository

Greetings,
I am working on creating a custom debian repository at the University
for whom I work.
I have successfully created a "simple" repository, one which has all the
relevant files in a single hierarchy.
I am now trying to split things off and use "pools", so that I can serve
various distributions (etch, lenny, sid) from the same URL.
Here is the problem I encounter, both with 'apt-get update' and
'aptitude update'.
Failed to fetch http://lager.d.umn.edu/debian/dists/etch/Release Unable
to find expected entry umd/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file
(malformed Release file?)
Reading package lists... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://lager.d.umn.edu etch/umd
Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/lager.d.umn.edu_debian_dists_etch_umd_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
But the first line claims 'Failed to fetch', but I can:
% wget http://lager.d.umn.edu/debian/dists/etch/Release

Here is the directory tree of my repository space:
debian
|-- dists
| `-- etch
| |-- Contents-i386
| |-- Contents-i386.gz
| |-- Release
| |-- Release.gpg
| `-- umd
| |-- binary-i386
| | |-- Packages

|-- cookieauth2_3.0b2.orig.tar.gz
`-- libapache2-mod-cookieauth2_3.0b2-1_i386.deb
Here is the script I use to create the repository:
#!/bin/bash
ARCHIVE=/home/mzagrabe/os/debian/apt-archive
PACKAGES=${ARCHIVE}/dists/etch/umd/binary-i386/Packages
SOURCES=${ARCHIVE}/dists/etch/umd/source/Sources
CONTENTS=${ARCHIVE}/dists/etch/Contents-i386
RELEASE=${ARCHIVE}/dists/etch/Release
cd ${ARCHIVE}
apt-ftparchive packages . > ${PACKAGES}
gzip -9 < ${PACKAGES} > ${PACKAGES}.gz
apt-ftparchive sources . > ${SOURCES}
gzip -9 < ${SOURCES} > ${SOURCES}.gz
apt-ftparchive contents . > ${CONTENTS}
gzip -9 < ${CONTENTS} > ${CONTENTS}.gz
apt-ftparchive --config-file=/etc/apt/apt-ftparchive.conf release . >
${RELEASE}
gpg -b -o ${RELEASE}.gpg ${RELEASE}
and here is the /etc/apt/apt-ftparchive.conf file:
APT {
FTPArchive {
Release {
Origin "UMD ITSS";
Label "UMD ITSS Debian repository";
Suite custom;
Codename etch;
Component umd;
Architectures "i386 source";
Archive stable;
Description "Unofficial Debian packages by UMD ITSS";
}
}
}
Here is the sources.list line I am using:
deb http://lager.d.umn.edu/debian etch umd
And version of apt:
ii apt 0.6.46.4-0.1 Advanced front-end for dpk
Does anyone see anything I missed?
TIA
