Hi Ray, I don't believe the below fix applies in your case. I think you'll need to add some debugging in various files to figure out why profile is not being passed down to install_server's functions.
FWIW, the job fail is real because we expected a profile called "None", but got instead a profile, probably called "rhel6.2-server" -- which doesn't match. That the expectation was "None" is a bug :) You could see if the below does work for you but the below patch should only matter if using the branch/pull request that has the extra cobbler integration patches in it.
