Ugh .... still had a bug in there that can happen when the following 
conditions are true:
     (A) a system doesn't have a --mac-address set
     (B) the --name is not a MAC
     (C) manage_dhcp is turned on

The fix is just:

diff --git a/cobbler/action_sync.py b/cobbler/action_sync.py
index 8302504..03eeb02 100644

I've checked this in upstream (git), though if you just want to apply 
the patch above that works also.   This will also be included in 0.6.2, 
which I do not have a
ETA on when we want to release this yet.   That will probably be in a 
few weeks to give some time for additional testing and a few minor 
features to get worked in.
