I think what's going on is that non-newest mode is trying to download things and update things, and offline mode is giving an error. Some packages have gotten upgraded accidentally, including plone.app.contentrules, to 3.1 beta 1 versions, so Michael has a version of Plone that's half 3.0.6 and half 3.1. The problem with -o downloading things is a buildout issue, though - whether a bug or user error, I can't tell.
