Hmm, I was just about to log a bug myself with a strange problem only apparently occuring on fresh installs of Dapper or Edgy (not upgraded).
I run an 'approx' local .deb cache, (used to be aptproxy but the bug is the same for both). Pointing the sources.list to my local cache (approx) gives forbidden errors as you describe above - however, after scanning around on the approx developer page someone gave me a hint and I wonder if it holds true for the bug you describe as well: 1) open a terminal/change to a VT and su/log in as root. 2) clear the http_proxy environment variable with "export http_proxy=" 3) try apt-get update and see if it works (it does here). For me this fixes the problem with the local cache - I wonder if it will work for you? If this doesn't work for you then I will open a new bug report as something else is going on and fubarring local cache/repositories.
