I have heard their are odd quicks with file permissions, so I exactly mirrored my new setup with a know good system running -CURRENT. The supfile permissions are 644 and the /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup directory has perms of 755, both owned by root:wheel (and I run cvsup as root.)
I also suspected their could be a problem with the connection, as it appears that my system sends out a DNS lookup when I run cvsup. Telnetting to cvsup2.freebsd.org on port 5999 is no problem. I am behind a firewall, but I set it to be wide open for troubleshooting this problem. I also tried plugging in the IP address of several cvsup servers.
Running cvsup-without-gui 16.1h with supfile: *default host=cvsup2.freebsd.org compress *default release=cvs *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default delete use-rel-suffix *default tag=. src-all
