I'm not sure why you are having the issue with pkg_add, but I can say I've 
had lots of intermittent problems along the same lines a long time ago. It 
worked occasionally, but was just too flakey and I just gave up started 
using 'pkgin' (pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgin) as soon as it came out.
The bonus is that you will be able to use 'pkgin' to search for packages 
after doing an update with it.
Thanks,
