Now tried:
#apt-get update (or upgrade) with sources.list
 deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
 deb-src ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
 deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
 deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
fails to give access to either sources or security updates and no 
update/upgrade occurs at all

Then also tried:
#apt-get update (or upgrade) with sources.list
 deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
 deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
 deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
 deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
fails to give access to either sources or security updates and no 
update/upgrade occurs at all

(installation was from etch beta 2 release installer; netinstall from 
debian.inode.at)
