spacewalk-repo-sync is cli to sync yum repo to the channel - e.g to be
used in cron batch.

On the other hand while creating channel you can specify yum repo url in the
webUI and if you check 'sync repo' there is a taskomatic job scheduled
to do th sync.

AFAIK the job is one time only and if you want to sync it via taskomatic
again you have to go to the channel page and check 'sync repo' (+
'update channel' once more.

Hope I shed some light on it ;).
