That did not work either... Manually downloading the repo.xml and other 
files works without issues.

There seems to be a proxy on build.gluster.org. I do not know if this is 
recently added to some environment that affects the regression tests?  
Using that proxy to download anything returns 404 errors to me too.

I've now disabled (hopefully) any proxy directives in 
/etc/mock/site-defaults.cfg.  
http://build.gluster.org/job/regression/2638/ should be the first run 
that explicitly disables any proxy servers.
