How much memory do you have available for Taskomatic? It's likely that the repo is too large for the default memory limit and it's running out of memory. I know that I've had to bump up the default Taskomatic and Tomcat memory limits to get the metadata to generate.

Check /usr/share/rhn/config-defaults/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.conf and tweak the following:

# Initial Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.initmemory=256

# Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.maxmemory=2048

(Notice I've bumped my maxmemory up to 2GB in this instance).

Cheers,
Avi
