Ok now I see the problem. Apache Wink is not officially configured to
use the new repository. The various build machines have permissions to
deploy snapshots, but if the project is not setup, naturally none of
the committers have any extra permissions.

To get converted, you need to file a subtask here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1896
