 Seems to work for me with Qgis 1.3. I put:

http://www.forestinformatics.com:9182/qgis/plugins.xml

 into the URL field and 'rufus port test' in the name. Plugin
installer was happy, and it installed your plugin.

What was your error, and what version of Qgis? Are you sure you got
the right URL in the field? It has to be the URL of the xml, not the
repository folder.
