FYI, here's /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/redhat_register in Cobbler 2.0:

# begin Red Hat management server registration
#if $redhat_management_type != "off" and $redhat_management_key != ""
mkdir -p /usr/share/rhn/
    #if $redhat_management_type == "site"
       #set $mycert_file = "RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT"
       #set $mycert = "/usr/share/rhn/" + $mycert_file
wget http://$redhat_management_server/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT -O 
$mycert
perl -npe 's/RHNS-CA-CERT/$mycert_file/g' -i /etc/sysconfig/rhn/*
    #end if
    #if $redhat_management_type == "hosted"
       #set $mycert = "/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT"
    #end if
    #set $endpoint = "https://%s/XMLRPC" % $redhat_management_server
rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=$endpoint --sslCACert=$mycert 
--activationkey=$redhat_management_key
#else
# not configured to register to any Red Hat management server (ok)
#end if
# end Red Hat management server registration


There's no for loop, so this doesn't support multiple keys in there.  If 
you do intend to put that there with a new snippet, a couple of things.

A:  the field should be stored as a string, as that is what cobbler 
thinks the key is, so just split the string on " "
B:  I'd like a patch to the snippet so upstream can match what you're 
shipping with Spacewalk.

If there's something else going on, let me know.

It could be the Spacewalk code is just trying to insert a comma 
seperated list in there, as from the report, that appears to be what it 
is doing... that won't take as in stock Cobbler 1.6.X.
