Hello,

I usually get this error when the repodata is old or missing.  Make sure 
that taskomatic is running on the spacewalk server and that the repodata 
is up-to-date (/var/cache/rhn/repodata/$channelLabel/).  The repodata 
can also be cached on the client.  Sometimes I see this error when the 
client doesn't pull down the latest repodata (check /var/cache/yum/ and 
subdirs for timestamps).

Good luck,

Josh
