That's not the problem as cobblerd reads that directory, not Apache.    
Removing it will obviously keep it from being found.

What you likely have is a Cheetah syntax error, which I'm not sure why 
you didn't have before, but that's likely it.   You should
be able to find more information in /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log.    
Paste the last few tracebacks and we'll see what's up.
