pkgng refuses repository made with poudriere-devel

I use ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel to build a pkgng repository that contains (for now) a single package net/openntpd. I made the repository available to the clients using www/publicfile.

I set up the client machine to use the repository.
Code:
$ cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
# System-wide configuration file for pkg(1)
# For more information on the file format and
# options please refer to the pkg.conf(5) man page

# Configuration options

# Repository definitions
#repos:
#  default : http://example.org/pkgng/
#  repo1 : http://somewhere.org/pkgng/repo1/
#  repo2 : http://somewhere.org/pkgng/repo2/

The repository is refused by pkg, while the webserver log shows repo.txz was successfully fetched.
Code:
# pkg update
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: Archive file does not have repo.sqlite file

However, if I download the repo.txz manualy and inspect it, it seems to contain what's needed.
Code:
[CMD=#]fetch http://192.168.0.194/release91amd64-default/repo.txz[/CMD]

The ntpd daemon implements the Simple Network Time Protocol version 4 as
described in RFC 2030 and the Network Time Protocol version 3 as de-
scribed in RFC 1305.  It can synchronize the local clock to one or more
remote NTP servers and act as NTP server itself, redistributing the local
time.

Both machines are running 9.1-RELEASE. ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel uses ZFS with no trouble and is at latest version 3.0.99.20130906. The same problem occurs with 3.0.99.20130721, however.

I'd appreciate any hints. Thanks!
 
You're right! After updating ports-mgmt/pkg from ports to the latest and the same version, the client is now able to use the repository.
Code:
# pkg update
Updating repository catalogue
Incremental update completed, 0 packages processed:
0 packages updated, 0 removed and 0 added.

Thank you! :beer It took you several minutes to figure out what I couldn't do in several days.
 
For the record: the choice of www/publicfile as a webserver wasn't really good. It was possible to manually fetch(1) the repository files, however pkg update failed. If www/squid was put in the middle as a proxy, pkg update started working. This wasn't an acceptable solution, however.

Using www/mathopd as the webserver works fine.
