Any ideas

For one thing, I pasted the url, ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/, into my browser url bar and got a 'too many connections' error. This will cause addmedia failures so you might want to do such a check.
Another thing is the url is too vague. At least, in any case I have added a source, on command line or with software sources manager, the url/path has to be to some RPMS directory, i.e. the directory that contains the rpms. If your browser test shows a server is accessible, drill down through the appropriate release and category directories until you get the url of the RPMS directory and try appending the rest of that url to the command. I think there is a bug in the command-generating script at Club, perhaps.
It looks like a series of addmedia errors has left some crud in your database where no hdlists are being found. Maybe you could urpmi.removemedia these sources to clean that up or use software sources manager to do that.
