If yumdownloader is used (in the case of using rpm_list to restrict the packages downloaded) --source is passed on the command line if --arch==src.  This allows source packages to be retrieved, but I don't know how to override yumdownloader to do architectures other than the current system arch.  Comments on this appreciated...

This looks good to me (thanks again) ... can you also submit a patch for 
docs/cobbler.pod (which is the manpage src) that describes when to use 
--arch (see the place where I've added docs for --createrepo-flags)?

It may be possible to control yumdownloader by editing the configuration 
files for the repos (stored in the ".origin" directory), ex: 
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/fc6i386extras.repo ... I'm not 
entirely sure.
