You seem to have far too many in there.  The marillat sources now
contain 0.19 packages for debian sarge as well as unstable (this
wasn't always the case).  So, the only entries you really need are ...

deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main

I'm still hosting sarge packages for myth 0.19 at
alexfisher.me.uk/debian, but the only advantage over the marillat
packages is that they're optimised for Pentium 3.  The performance
gain is probably very hard to notice and not worth the extra wait
involved downloading packages from me over my ADSL line!

Hope it all works out.

Kind Regards,
Alex
