I think I can guess at your problem.  If this is not right, we'll need
more information about your setup.

Something we need to publicise more in the next version (feel free to
report a bug on the manual, anyone ;-)) is that your server MUST be
directly connected to the Internet; not through a router, OR you must
allow UDP packets through the router to it.  This is because most
routers ``hide'' the machines connected to them, for security reasons.
That's a great thing, but it means that the Quake server can't talk to
the master server.

You need to allow UDP packets to/from the server machine, on port 27500.
(The master server at agrip.org.uk runs on port 27000, for any that are
interested.)

If you are running a personal server (i.e. just for your own use), you
can tell it not to report stats to the master server and then disable
MAUTH we should probably add a feature in the next release such that the
server can be seen by the stats system to be MAUTH-enabled or not, and
thus know whether it should trust stats reported from it.  Again,
someone will need to file a bug on Launchpad (though on the Stats and
Servers system in this case, not AQ) to remind me as I have a major
deadline in 3 days time for work and can't stop to do anything but work
and sleep until then :-).
