We had the same issue.

The parent pom file was available in our local repository, but maven still unsuccessfully tried to download it from the central repository, or from the relativePath (there were no files in the relative path).

Turns out, there was a file called "_remote.repositories" in the local repository, which was causing this behavior. After deleting all the files with this name from the complete local repository, we could build our modules.
