     Your remote directory line is:
     remote_dir=/debian-non-US/dists/potato/non-US

     What I sent was:

        remote_dir=/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/main/binary-all
        remote_dir=/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/main/binary-i386
        remote_dir=/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/contrib/binary-all
        remote_dir=/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/contrib/binary-i386
        remote_dir=/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/non-free/binary-all
        remote_dir=/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/non-free/binary-i386

     Of course, s/potato/woody/.  It appears to be necessary to list
the directories under woody/non-US, but I don't understand why, since
recursive is supposed to be the default.  A year or so ago, non-US was
not divided into main, contrib, and non-free.
