That's interesting. I've been having similar problems with it. I just discoverd
that it would accept either the sources lines or my binaries line, but not
both at the same time. I'm not sure, but I suspect it's trying to match up
source packages with binary packages, and running into inconsistancies.
See if this is similar to what you get:
