Hm..I still get an error.
But not on the client or server in the logfiles.
Only in spacewalk I get:

Failed: There was a communication error talking to the server

Nothing shown on the client with osad -N -vv or /var/log/osad
The server shows:
2009/05/25 17:55:00 +02:00 506 unknown: xmlrpc/queue.get(1000010679, 2,
'checkins enabled')

2, 'checkins enabled')

hmm strange..
