As mentioned on the list previously, the URL you want is "/cobbler/web/" 
for the WebUI.   This is just an error in the link and has been fixed 
upstream.

There's an RFE open on this.

Meanwhile, you can do "cobbler reposync --only=name" for each repo you 
want to sync.

in Trac on this.

Some of this is already documented on the Wiki with respect to 
ks_mirror, yes, we can extend it to deal with alternate repo storage
