While doing my version range testing, I can't get it to work over repository.jboss.org

When I try to perform my release I get a bizzarre error message
for this constraint

 <dependency>
 <groupId>junit</groupId>
 <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
 <version>[4.4]</version>
 <scope>test</scope>
 </dependency>

 Couldn't find a version in [3.8.2-brew] to match range [4.4,4.4]
 junit:junit:jar:null

 from the specified remote repositories:
 central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
 repository.jboss.org (http://repository.jboss.org/maven2),
 snapshots.jboss.org (file:///home/ejort/temp/snapshots),
 repository (file:///home/ejort/temp/maven-repository)

This is despite the fact that I can see in the release-pom.xml
that it has actually resolved it to 4.4

 <dependency>
 <groupId>junit</groupId>
 <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
 <version>4.4</version>
 <scope>test</scope>
 </dependency>

Also, I don't know why it is searching in snapshots at this stage?

Anyway, when I just run my tests over repo1.maven.org, I don't see this problem.
