Your posted configs are correct, so we can rule out the usual typos etc.
I assume that 10.0.0.251 in your output formatted as a URL is some
artifact of mailers and is not present in the actual output?

My usual faultfinding at this point:

- make sure there is no "#" or ">" characters in the router prompt (I
believe recent rancid has improved this area and error handling)
- find out if the router or rancid was updated/changed co-incident with
when the backups started failing
- run f10rancid with the -d option so you can see what is really going
on. The clogin command used is often output right at the top so if -d
doesn't cut it, run that clogin command to get the entire output
including the details f10rancid doesn't echo to stdout
