True, for SNAPSHOT files.

If you're getting this problem with something other than SNAPSHOT files,
then did you use -DgeneratePom=true when installing the files? 

I've been working on doing exactly this kind of thing today, and it's
working fine. However if there is no pom file next to the jarfile in the
local repository, then maven tries to fetch the *pom* (and only the pom)
from the central repository, then gets the jar from the local one.
Putting a pom in the local repository fixes that.

Shoot... I've got a bunch of poms to go generate, or jars to reinstall. ;-)
