I missed this in the queue earlier. The arch parameter is needed for 
reposync (part of yum, not to be confused with the cobbler reposync 
which knows about both yum and rsync) to pull down files of a different 
arch. I would file a bug with yumdownloader (see the 
/usr/bin/yumdownloader) command below if you think it's not pulling down 
the right packages.
