[et-mgmt-tools] cobbler import --mirror error

[James Fidell]

I'm new to cobbler, so it's possible I've missed something obvious.
Please point me in the right direction if that's the case.

I've rebuild the source RPM for 0.3.9-1 on a Centos 4.4 server and
I'm trying to import Fedora Core 6 from a mirror using rsync:

  cobbler import
--mirror=rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
--name=fedoracore6

Once the rsync is complete (fairly quick, as I populated most of it from
RPMs I'd already downloaded), I get the following messages:

  /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6
  /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/images
  /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/images/xen
  (distro added)
  (profile added)
  - looking for comps in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6
  Error: groupfile
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/repodata/comps.xml cannot be found.

Followed by a usage message from createrepo.

/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/repodata/comps.xml is present
however, and readable.

It looks possible to me that cobbler is running

  createrepo --groupfile
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/repodata/comps.xml
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6

but then createrepo is prepending the path to fedoracore6 and
trying to open


/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6//var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/repodata/comps.xml

Any ideas on how to get this working?  I'm using createrepo-0.4.3-1
if that makes a difference.
