[et-mgmt-tools] Error when creating repo

[Adrian Revill]

Im not sure if ive missed a step, but i am setting up a new install of 
cobbler 1.0.1-2 on rhel5.2

I have run
# cobbler repo add --name rhel-x86_64-server-5 
--mirror=rhn://rhel-x86_64-server-5

and it seems to have setup /var/lib/cobbler/repo ok

I then run
#cobbler reposync

and i get an error

- creating: /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/rhel-x86_64-server-5.repo
- creating: /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/rhel-x86_64-server-5/config.repo
exceptions.IOError

line 227, in run
    return self.api.reposync(self.options.only)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 349, in 
reposync

    return reposync.run(name)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", 
line 78, in run
    self.do_reposync(repo)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py",

   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", 
line 248,
 in create_local_file
    config_file = open(fname, "w+")

If i create the directory 
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/rhel-x86_64-server-5 then it cures the error
