Hmm, interesting.

This basically revolves around yum-utils' reposync (as you can see from 
the output), so if you have the entitled bits for the channels, it 
should work.   That being said, you're not the only one who has reported 
some problems getting content to download.

I'll do some more testing on this to see if it still works for me.   In 
the meantime, any input from folks that did get this working and what 
they had to do to make it work would be much appreciated.
