Which version of FreeBSD are you running? Usually people get that because freebsd-update cannot fetch metadata for the release they're running.

That's the problem then -- you need to be running a release. The argument being that if you can get yourself to -STABLE, you're obviously comfortable with source upgrades.

That's certainly fair, although the error message gives no indication of that and appears to be a problem with the FreeBSD-update infrastructure.
