Afaid not this URL works fine once I have seeded the local repository with org.apache.maven artifacts. That is to say other non maven plugins and artifact are successfully downloaded from this respository configured with this URL.
I have also tried a http: based repository with the exact same effect.

I'd suspect this is the source of your problem(s) right now. Also, I'd recommend you look into a Maven Proxy like Proximity rather than continuing with your current approach. In the long term I think you'll be much happier and work less with a solution like Promixity.
