Haven't tried those 2 but I'm OK on cvsup3.uk.freebsd.org so I suspect
the problem is with your end.

I wonder if it is some sort of permission problem. Runlevel OK? You

I didn't know you had ports and src in the same config. I keep mine
separately.

Where do you put your ports btw? Under /usr/sup/ or /usr/ports/ ?

Maybe you could cut & paste the output from a run & post it. (Or the
bits that look relevant). Use script(1) to capture the output.
