If you installed cobbler-web I'm going to take a bit of a guess you
ended up with cobbler 2.0.3 installed?

As a heads up that version (rather than the 1.6.x that was in EPEL
previously) is a bit broken in kickstart snippet behaviour. Check the
mailing list archives - but there is something I recall about the
variables needing to be escaped now or something like that...
