It grabs the kickstart file off the webserver, but when it starts looking for the install tree it fails.  Has anything changed with the files it searches for in the tree?  It doesn't seem like any of the files it is looking for are there.  My tree is built from the 5.3 DVD.

The file request stuff is just installer noise and can be ignored.

Looks like you have a cobbler question.  

(Next time use https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler and 
you'll get a faster response)

As you had to enter the IP and such, it sounds like you have a static 
configuration.  Ultimately with what you've provided I don't have enough 
to go on, but it could very well be that the install tree is not 
configured correctly in the kickstart.  (url --url=).   It ultimately 
depends what you are using.

cobbler profile getks --name=foo

will let you view the kickstart file

I'd need to know more about your network setup to know for sure.
