Turn's out Teemu Torma was right - it was just a case of rtfm... I'm using curl with a few exported variables. Urpmi now works fine as does rpmdrake :) I don't suppose there's any chance of rpmdrake being updated b4 release to either remove the option to set proxies (since it doesn't work as it is) or to have it updated to actually work. It's just a little confusing as it is...
