Hi Carla,
Currently there is bug in BugTraq Webservices API which I am using to
access Bugtraq side of the world

http://bt2ws.central.sun.com/CrPrint?id=6437654 (URL works only internal
to Sun )

I am working with BT team to get a workaround /solution to this . As
soon as this is resolved, then first time transfer can take place, and
after that on nightly bases. I should have an update later this week.
