Sorry to be so late with this reply...

No, but not on purpose.  For some reason that directory doesn't get
mirrored.  I'm using an older tool called mirrordir for the job.  It
seems to mirror the other stuff with no problems.  Is there symlinking
or something involved on the source site?

Doesn't appear to be anything unusual about it in my view from ncftp.

I'm investigating my setup now.
