Perhaps the -tree option supports only directory names, not URIs?

Work is ongoing towards integrating the package updater with yum, but it
hasn't made it in time for FC4 and *might* not even make it in FC5 :-(

You'd probably be better off adding yum repo support to the server on
which you have the tree installed. It's fairly easy to do using
createrepo.
