I've pushed a patch out to git for this, and it will be applied to the 
next release whether 1.0.X or 1.1 devel (both).

I've also removed two items of directory ownership in tftpboot.  F9 uses 
/var/lib/tftpboot, and while I check for it, the RPM
should not be creating directories there.  cobbler itself will create 
the intermediate directories it needs if they do not exist.

If you need the patch and don't want to rebuild from source, it's here:
  
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=cobbler;a=commitdiff;h=eafedd4d33a63107f9a382ab613b5e5d2f18f98d;hp=b4ccb85ecaa9da26203baa3f27e90f177fd677f0

This seems to work for me, please let me know if it doesn't for you.
