From your output, apt-get update hasn't finished yet so apt-get 
dist-upgrade isn't getting anything yet.  Also, what exactly is:
http://security.debian.org woody/updates/non-free Packages?
Someone more knowledgeable than me can feel free to correct me, but the 
whole reason that woody hasn't been released is that it isn't on 
security.debian.org yet.
