Hmm, yum's unhappy. I just tried this using the 0.6.1 version (releasing 
soon) and it works for me, so I believe
we're ok. Anyhow, I believe you said this was fixed with the earlier 
patch from the "Success!" email?

There are a few things that can cause an error with yum. Connectivity 
problems with the repo
or having the URL wrong (which appears fine) are the most likely things 
to go wrong. Occasionally if
you kill the reposync process while it's running you'll leave it in an 
indeterminate state -- though I don't
really recall seeing that recently.

In the worst case, you may want to clean out 
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/epel5testing and
then re-sync.

Though, again, I think you said it worked earlier with the last email?
