Group-files are located on the Spacewalk-server in '/var/satellite/rhn/comps/‘.

Check if the apache-server can read those files (owner, apache:apache, chmod: 750 on directories) and if they have the correct context (spacewalk_data_t).

Sorry again!!  Also should have mentioned that I'm seeing the "Failed to retrieve group file for repository" error on multiple machines, both pointing directly at the spacewalk server, as well as machines pointing to a proxy.

Sorry, should have mentioned that 'yum clean all' and 'rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*' didn't help

Does anyone know how to resolve "Failed to retrieve group file for repository"?  What causes it?
