pacman unexpected error with a local repository

Hi, I have a strange problem with pacman and a local repository.
Makepkg stores his packages in a special directory in my home directory ( /home/patroclo7/aur/packages ).
I have created the repository with repo-add:

repo-add /home/patroclo7/aur/packages/giorgio.db.tar.gz /home/patroclo7/aur/packages/*.pkg.tar.gz

Everything went well; according to the ouput all the packages are successfully added and the database of the repository is updated. Then I have added the repository to /etc/pacman.conf. The following is the resulting /etc/pacman.conf:

[options]
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
ILoveCandy

[giorgio]
Server = file:///home/patroclo7/aur/packages/giorgio.db.tar.gz

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Now, when I try to sync the database with pacman -Sy, I get an "unexpected error" relative to giorgio (all the other repos sync fine). This is the ouput of pacman -Sy --debug:

The relevant lines are probably:

debug: failed to get lastupdate time for giorgio
debug: failed to sync db: errore inaspettato
errore: impossibile aggiornare giorgio (errore inaspettato)

where "errore inaspettato" is the Italian translation of "unexpected error".
Obviously there is no "lastupdate time" for the repo, since it is new and it has never been synced successfully.
What could this error be?

You Server line should look like:

Server = file:///home/patroclo7/aur/packages

See: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … repository
