Cascading SUS problems

We have a 10.6.7 Server running SUS. When we point our other Software Update Servers (also 10.6.7) at it in a cascading setup we continually get the following errors:

swupd_syncd[3169] <Error>: *** Error downloading file


This occurs with every update. What could be wrong?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Same problem here. This started a while back. I can't quite figure out what's wrong. I can manually access each URL in Safari from the server... so it's not like a network or web proxy issue. It's as though they broke the cascade functionality and we'll need to wait for them to fix it. Hoping someone finds a fix though. I could report this via our AppleCare contract to see if I can get some info as to what's wrong.
