It seems to me that you are a bit confused by the _two_ separate mirrors that
you have to use. For make-pseudo-image, you have to use a normal Debian
`packages' mirror, as listed on
  http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist
So you should use a command like
  make-pseudo-image binary-i386-1.list ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian

Then, AFTER this is done, with the _rsync_ command, you use the _rsync_ server
  rsync.kernel.org::mirrors/debian-cd/<something more here>
(no `ftp://' here!)

This is supposed to be explaned in the README, so I suggest you read that
(again). If you still encounter problems, feel free to contact me.
