I would make sure that the security line is the same as the others, ie
if:
deb http://debian.attica.net.nz/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
then
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

but if
deb http://debian.attica.net.nz/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
then
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to 
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
