Michael, thanks for the tip.  I forgot about cobbler logs.  I found
/etc/cobbler/settings had changed during the upgrade and the -swsave
file had my hosts's FQDN (instead of the short-name inserted by
spacewalk-setup).  I copied the settings-swsave file over settings and
restarted cobblerd.  I determined the permissions on /var/log/cobbler
had been altered by another process such that Apache could no longer
write into that directory.  This was causing all the kickstart profile
errors.
