Well, I had it yesterday as well and other channels are not affected. 
Since you are using RHN and not RHNS, I tried using without SSL instead, 
and that gives me:

	rhel5s-i386: Mirror packages from rhn://rhn-tools-rhel-i386-server-5 to /shelf/redhat/system/rhel5s-i386/rhn-tools
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "/usr/bin/rhnget", line 498, in ?
	    main()
	  File "/usr/bin/rhnget", line 477, in main
	    mirrorrhn(op.uri, op.destination)
	  File "/usr/bin/rhnget", line 346, in mirrorrhn
	    systemid = rhnlogin(url, path)
	  File "/usr/bin/rhnget", line 313, in rhnlogin
	    li = rpcServer.doCall(server.up2date.login, systemid)
	  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 307, in doCall
	    raise up2dateErrors.CommunicationError(e.errmsg)
	up2date_client.up2dateErrors.CommunicationError: Error communicating with server. The message was:
	Not Found
	mrepo: Mirroring failed for rhn://rhn-tools-rhel-i386-server-5 with 
	message:
	  Failed with return code: 256

Which makes no sense either. I don't understand it works for you and not 
for me :)
