The directory you pass to genhdlist needs to contain a "RedHat"
subdirectory, which itself needs a "base" and "RPMS" directory.

So if you had this:

/vol
`-- redhat
    `-- rh73
        `-- RedHat
            |-- RPMS
            `-- base


then you'd call genhdlist like this:

$ genhdlist /vol/redhat/rh73
