Are you sure it is Sarge? oldstable was woody until Yesterday.
Are you sure you are not trying to upgrade from Woody to Sarge?
Those three line are correct except for 2 errors each line and the
change from oldstable to stable.

Here are the proper lines for for stable (which is now Etch):
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
The last line is what http://www.debian.org/security/ says to use.
