I've noticed this as well. In my experience, I've seen that the security upgrades via 'apt-get' only work with the http protocol specified in the above 'sources.list' line, even though all my other 'sources.list' line work fine with the ftp protocol. So, I'd guess that the following would work for you as well: deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free Hopefully, others on this list can comment as to why this is so, and as to whether security.debian.org plans to allow ftp 'apt-get' upgrades.
