Trouble syning custom repository

I am having trouble syncing my custom repository, which is at: http://www.nd.edu/~pbui/distfiles/archlinux-i686/

I added the repository to /etc/pacman.conf as so:

[pnutzh4x0r]
Server = http://www.nd.edu/~pbui/distfiles/archlinux-i686

Here is the output of my sync:

$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
downloading pnutzh4x0r.db.tar.gz...
 core                      33.6K  283.5K/s 00:00:00 [#########################################] 100%
 extra                    426.4K 1347.9K/s 00:00:00 [#########################################] 100%
 community                365.8K 1291.4K/s 00:00:00 [#########################################] 100%
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 local database is up to date

As far as I can tell, the download is successful and the pnutzh4x0r.db.tar.gz is valid, but when I check /var/lib/pacman/sync/pnutzh4x0r, the directory is empty.  If I download the archive directly and extract it manually, then pacman -Ss pdksh-debian (or anything other package in my repo) works.

So there appears to be a problem after downloading the archive and extracting it.  Does anyone have any ideas or hints?

Re: Trouble syning custom repository

Hmm. Well, I just switched to using a local file repository:

[pnutzh4x0r]
Server = file:///var/local/pkg

and that works just fine with the same packages and repo db...
