The Associated Press report of the Israel Antiquities Authority, datelined 
12.49 GMT Weds, is available on:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-2804228,00.html
and the first paragraph reads:
 >>  An inscription purporting to link an ancient burial box to Jesus' 
brother James is a modern day forgery with no link to New Testament 
figures, Israel's Antiquities Authority said Wednesday. <<

The AP story is also carried on the Jerusalem Post:

I think the headline on a Jerusalem Post editorial of June 13 best 
encapsulates my own view:
 >>  Jesus for suckers <<

P.S
I can find nothing later than Oct 30, 2001 on the "News" section of the IAA 
web-site: http://www.israntique.org.il/eng/news.html
Ah, well, in terms of the centuries they deal with, 20 months is but the 
blink of an eyelid, I suppose <g>
