>From your description:

-- snip -- In old repository $ git-submodule update ... Getting pack list for http://git.vyatta.com/home/shemminger/vyatta-iproute/.git/ error: The requested URL returned error: 403 error: Unable to find 8d971aff46015fc156d5b74254d21831d275963c under http://git.vyatta.com/vyatta-iproute.git Cannot obtain needed object 8d971aff46015fc156d5b74254d21831d275963c Unable to checkout '79b4dbe51b84fdf37fdc9cb8b17819526508a60c' in submodule path 'pkgs/vyatta-iproute' -- snap --

So there was some type of invalid HTTP request, and then the hin tat 8d971 was not found under http://.../vyatta-iproute.git (note the absence of the trailing slash). Of course, since it is 403 ("forbidden"), and not 30x (which I thought I read), it could be a different error altogether.

In any case, this means that your submodule is not at all fine.
