Hi Chris,

I had the same problem some time ago because I used to test
iso/bsdinstall every day. Fortunately, the re@ team explained the
cause and the solution to me.

The new development snapshot builds are propagated to the
mirror.  It is non-atomic, so there is a bit of a possible race 
condition. (This happens once a week, unless there is some sort of build 
failure.)

You could subscribe to the freebsd-snapshots@ mailing list if you want 
to be notified when the propagation is complete.

Alfonso
