We found the source of the uninative fetch problem: SOURCE_MIRROR_URL needs to be set in order for uninative to be picked up from local mirror.
The standard PREMIRRORS mechanism doesn't work for this single tarball. So every time a clean poky build took place it always went to the internet to fetch the uninative tarball the first time and store it in the local build download. I think this should be clearly documented somewhere in the yocto manual?
