What was the datestring on in mate?
Which server did you pull it from?
Did you pull it down as an image? http, bittorrent, or jigdo?
Note: the au mirrors are currently updating, previously Sun Feb 6
02:34:05 2011 was the latest image
(http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian-cd/ which is the Oz cd mirror)
which I've installed without problem (expert acpi=force desktop=kde).
