The file's comments document what each option does, and "cobbler check"
will make sure the important
options are set.

Don't confuse repositories ("cobbler repo add") with install trees
("cobbler import"). They are not the same.

It would depend what was at "/tmp/f9" in the above case. I can't tell

Depends what you had mirrored. If that's a copy of the install tree,
then yes, the above is correct, but it seems to /not/ be correct as it
failed
to add any distributions. Do a "ls -l /tmp/f9" and "tree -d /tmp/f9" and
post what you see in that directory, that should be helpful in sorting
out your import question.
