[Spacewalk-list] Errors encountered while provisioning new servers

Whenever I provision a new physical server be it an existing registered
server in Spacewalk or a barebones build, upon completion of the kickstart
at reboot time I receive two emails with the RHN Traceback "Exception type
server.rhnChannel.NoToolsChannel" see full paste of Traceback at
http://pastebin.com/CnC5c9uG
And
http://pastebin.com/rZC2mLKm

Upon reboot if I attempt to do an rhn_check -vv I get a :
"An error has occurred:
Internal Server Error
See /var/log/up2date for more information"

/var/log/up2date yields:

This also results in another "server.rhnChannel.NoToolsChannel" RHN
Traceback email.  This happens anytime an rhn_check is issued.

This behavior is not happening on my kvm provisioned virtual machines so I'm
guessing its something in the kickstart profile triggering this.

Here is my kickstart profile that is causing the issues with some sections
commented out or removed for security reasons:

The only way to fix this is to delete the profile from spacewalk, then force
re-register it.  After that everything works fine.

Any ideas?
