I have had that same issue.
Check to see if your BITS Service is on.
I had mine disabled. It didn't like that.
Try enabling the BITS service, then try again.
I have Automatic Updates disabled now, and I can update manually.
Ez.

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Windows Update
Went to windows update last night w/ XP Pro.
Redirected to the v5 version. I was asked to install
the new Windows Update software...downloaded the WU software...copied the
files...then saw registering...kinda thinking that it was checking for a
valid registration or license. No updates needed according to WU. XP SP2
is not available via WU for XP Pro yet.
Now, I checked the Automatic Update service to see if
it was turned back start automatic as I always have it disabled. Yup, it
was set to automatic and it was started. I stop and disable automatic
update service, and try WU. Get error stating that the automatic update
service must be enable to use WU now. Has anybody else head of this? Once
again, we must have services that we do not want enable. I can not believe
that they are forcing user to turn on the service to use WU.
