UnknownArchetype: The desired archetype does not exist (org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart)

I'm trying to create a simple Maven 3.0.3 project with the command:

mvn -X  archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DgroupId=com.hordine  -DartifactId=hordineCmdTwitter

And Maven fails me miserably with the message:

[INFO] Generating project in Interactive mode
[DEBUG] Searching for remote catalog: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml
[DEBUG] Using catalog /Users/hordine/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml

Why can't Maven find this Archetype? I used to be able to create projects with this archetype.

This is how my settings.xml is configured:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>people.apache.snapshots</id>
        <url>http://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group/</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  <pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>apache.snapshots</id>
        <name>Apache Snapshots</name>
        <url>http://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group/</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </pluginRepository>
  </pluginRepositories>

Thanks in advance!

It might have been some invisible funny characters that were being copied from my blog. I was copying the maven command from this post of mine: http://hordine.com/?p=1637 , by selecting it and typing control + C. Now that I've added a toolbar to that source code, when I copy the maven command using the copy button of the toolbar, I don't get this error anymore.
