It shouldn't have broken it.  Does your Satellite have:

/var/satellite/rhn/kickstart/ks-rhel-i386-es-4-u5

on its disk?  That is where the tree is located (sans-rpms, they are 
grabbed from /var/satellite/redhat/NULL).

You can find a bit more info about your method of getting the trees on 
our wiki:

FYI, rhn-satellite-users list is where most of the Satellite related 
traffic goes.
