this should be fixed now.  thanks.  this problem was caused because we
maintain 'planetmirror.com' as the primary domain and 'planetmirror.com.au'
is essentially a symlink farm into the primary.  and of course we didn't
anticipate that we would need to provide for someone using the 'http'
access to the 'ftp' name, but it is an easy fix.
