[cobbler] cobbler import and available-as option

Hello, We use Artifactory to manage our artifact repository, including syncing our distro repos from the vendor. Up until now I have been using the import command to import form a mounted vendor DVD on our Cobbler server. What I would like to do it is have it always use our Artifactory server as that will always be available the systems we build. Per documentation the --available-as option should do this for me. Also, from documentation examples it shows that it should work over HTTP. The syntax I am using is... cobbler import --path=http://repo.myserver.com:/artifactory/rhel-6.3-base/x86_64/ --name=rhel6.3 --avaialble-as=http://repo.myserver.com: /artifactory/rhel-6.3-base/x86_64/ The import task fails. The log shows it tried to use rsync. Does it not work over http or am I using the wrong syntax?
