Sounds like you're behind some kind of gnarly proxy or firewall that  
doesn't let you talk to SVN servers that aren't behind HTTP (svn  
protocol, TCP port 3690).

I'm not going to "fix" this, because that would require me  
maintaining copies of ez_setup in all of my projects (which change  
every time setuptools is released). I suggest you talk to your  
network admin and plead with them to open that up. In the meantime  
the workaround is to download "ez_setup.py" as you have done and use  
--ignore-externals every time you do "svn up".
