Cannot reproduce your problem with 4.1.2 nor trunk, but I have no 3.5.x setup 
around to test it there. The "Doesn't exist" message on an RSS url (and not a 
HTML url with feeds linked in it) usually means that Akregator couldn't parse 
the feed, usually broken XML. Which often happens e.g. if there is an 
unescaped "&" in the article text. Can you access the feed via konqueror?
