Thanks. It seems to me there is something strange.

After having discarded the texlive 2009 (I erased /usr/local/texlive/ 
2009),
I downloaded MacTeX-2009 pretest (v. october 22) and reinstalled from  
scratch.

Then I tried to update with tlmgr from http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/
and tlmgr update --self was ok.

The following command tlmgr update --all gives me the usual error

sh-3.2# tlmgr update --all
tlmgr: package repository http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/
/usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/installer/xz/xzdec.universal-darwin:  
(stdin): File format not recognized
First directive needs to be 'name', not <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C// 
DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd 
"> at /usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPOBJ.pm line 123,  
<RETFH> line 1.

Trying again tlmgr update --self gives now the same error.

So it seems that the tlmgr auto-update on the mac (at least on  
mine...) installs some corrupted file.

I tried also to reinstall the TexLive Manager in TLU with no success.
This is the log:
