You need to define the βmainβ module in your make-make file, especially if you are using a custom distribution:
core = 7.x api = 2 projects[l10n_install][type] = core projects[l10n_install][version] = 1.0
If you do not specify projects[...][type] = core , then drush make uses the latest drupal distribution by default.
You can use the "-v" or "-d" option to debug the drush command that is being executed.
Here is a good introduction to drush-make: http://www.lullabot.com/blog/articles/drush-make-and-pressflow
Please provide a drush-make file if you need further help.
