Bob,
I think Tony is correct. When giving a repo path to yum, you should exclude the
'repodata' sub directory. If a repo location is
http://some_server/some_dir, yum
will look for the directory 'repodata' under that and try to find files like
'repomd.xml'. If you gave
http://some_server/some_dir/repodata as the repo
location, yum will again look for a 'repodata' directory under that and fail since
it won't find it.

Hi Balaji,
Thank you so much for telling me this! I will 'cobbler repo edit' the
repo URL and see what happens. Thank you for spotting my error!
