This is very strange, since I tooke quite some time to test and made
sure it works.  It is also working for me here:
    $ uscan --report
    scim: Newer version (1.1.1) available on remote site
      (local version is 1.0.2)

Are you trying to download the files as well (without --report option)?
Googling revealed some mailing list posts saying it's shaky to download
files with SF predownloads URL, but should work for just checking.
Actually evendownloading works for me:
    $ uscan
    scim: Newer version (1.1.1) available on remote site
      (local version is 1.0.2)
    scim: Successfully downloaded updated package scim-1.1.1.tar.gz
        and symlinked scim_1.1.1.orig.tar.gz to it
    uupdate: a native Debian package cannot take upstream updates

If it's not working for you even with --report option, would you please
post the result of ``uscan --report --verbose''?  Thanks.

Good catch.  I'll change it to only check for 1.0.x branch and check-in
to SVN.
