Are you behind some kind of proxy/firewall? Its interesting its a cvs
based recipe that is failing so it could be your cvs setup.

You could try placing
http://autobuilder.pokylinux.org/sources/config_cvs.sv.gnu.org__20080123.tar.gz

into the downloads directory manually and touching the
config_cvs.sv.gnu.org__20080123.tar.gz.md5 file there to show the
fetcher the fetch is complete. If that works it would suggest the mirror
fallback code in the fetcher isn't working as intended.

Cheers,
