I think that FAILED message is saying that there was a filename in the
md5sums.gz that didn't exist; checking its md5sum failed because it
didn't exist. To check this, did any of those FAILED lines refer to
files that you actually have?
You used a for loop to move the passed debs. That suggests that the
directory now only contains debs that failed. How many such files are
there? I don't know if the rsync mirrors have individual packages or
just CDs. If you can find an rsync mirror that has your broken
packages, you can use rsync to fix them. Otherwise, just delete them
and move on.
