This is an ugly bug in 0.4 that is affecting Spacewalk's ability to 
synchronize with Cobbler.  The error message is somewhat misleading.

Can you do the following and reply to the list:

1) From your spacewalk server's terminal:

# cobbler distro report

copy-paste the above to http://pastebin.com/  and send us the URL

2) From your spacewalk server's terminal do:

# sqlplus spacewalk/spacewalk at xe
SQL> select label, base_path, NVL(cobbler_Id, 'NULL'), 
NVL(cobbler_xen_id, 'NULL') from rhnKickstartableTree;

take the results of that and also copy to a http://pastebin.com/
