What do you mean by "dist files"? The files it's supposed to be
looking for are in {base,crypto,doc,games,...}. As far as I can
tell the amd64 snapshot release dirs aren't missing anything the
i386 ones have. Are you sure you are using snapshots.se.freebsd.org?
I can't find any connections from *.state.tx.us in the logs.
