So, are the dependencies-helper files meant to be in a sub-directory, or should that Step 3 line be updated to point to the dependencies-helper sub-directory?

Yes, it's an error.I fix the wiki. I've added a
ln -s dependencies-helper/*.sh .
to the instructions in the wiki, so now they should be in the correct location(home of the user).

It seems to have a problem with accessing the network. wget works fine from within scratchbox. And I can ping packages.debian.org from outside of scratchbox in a regular terminal.
Any ideas?

It seems that the problem is that the DNS is not configured in the scratchbox environment. Do a
sbox$ echo nameserver the_ip_of_your_dns >> /etc/resolv.conf
substituing the the_ip_of_your_dns
with the IP of the DNS you use. For example
sbox$ echo nameserver 80.58.32.33 >> /etc/resolv.conf
If that solves it, I would have to update the wiki for that, too O:-).
