I eventually solved the problem and posted the resolution in
another thread::

Replying to my own posting, I have found what appears to be a suitable method
using lftp, which can do http transfers. I still don't know why it only works
when I mirror the pool and dist subdirectories separately:
lftp -c 'open http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool; mirror -x .*-powerpc.*\
-x .*-mips.* -x .*-arm.* -x .*m68k.* -x .*sparc.* -x .*amd64.* -x .*ia64.* \
-x .*-alpha.* -x .*_alpha.* -x .*hppa.* --verbose=3 --delete . \
/mirror/debian-multimedia/pool'
lftp -c 'open http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists; mirror -x .*-powerpc.*\
-x .*-mips.* -x .*-arm.* -x .*m68k.* -x .*sparc.* -x .*amd64.* -x .*ia64.* \
-x .*-alpha.* -x .*_alpha.* -x .*hppa.* --verbose=3 --delete . \
/mirror/debian-multimedia/dists'
