Urgent Help - Sharepoint search crawl failing

Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has "Full Read" permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled. (The item was deleted because it was either not found or the crawler was denied access to it.)

 

 

 

Here is what we are getting on the index server. If you remove the iRule everything woks fine. This is the only data that i have. As per the sharepoint team the account used for crawling has got Admin rights. If you hit the same url manually and use same credentials it works fine. Let me know if you need more info.
