I discovered after removing my update source, when re-entering it by the gui method (Software Sources Manager), to be sure to tick the box for "Security Updates source"(not sure of exact wording) for your Update source. I mistakenly just chose "ftp source" for updates, and when I ran Mandrake Update, it complained of not having an ftp mirror set up, and opened a dialog for me to choose one.
For contrib source I simply selected "ftp ". This is probably only an issue when using the gui method, and not CL. Just my observations FYI & FWIW.
