I'm getting this error, but your proposed solution can't be right. I've cleaned my <home>/.m2/repository and started all over again with the steps from the getting started guide. During the mvn test step I get the error you mention.
When I check <home>/.m2/repository there is no subdir named plugins. The surefire plugin is located under org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/2.0/. The pom for that version references a groupId maven-surefire-plugin and artifacts maven-surefire-plugin and surefire-booter, both version 1.4. These are not available on ibiblio. There are several files with a lastmodified of 24/11/2005.....
