Problem with NZ breezy archive

As a New Zealand resident, I am trying to use the NZ repository, rather
than going off-shore.

My /etc/apt/sources.list has the following entry, to retrieve everything
from the local archive rather than from off-shore:
 deb http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe main restricted
multiverse

With that entry, doing "sudo apt-get update" results in a number of
warnings and errors.  The main problems appear to reference the GPG
signature file, Release.gpg.  If the default repository
(http://archives.ubuntu.com) is used instead, there are no issues. The
output follows:
tim at marvin:~$ sudo apt-get update
