The error below is not a direct error from the above per se, but an
error in the code that produces the actual exception text -- it's an
error while telling you what the error is :). This is fixed on the
latest development branch and I also applied this change just now to
master.
You can also fix this by adding the following line to remote.py
"from utils import _"
Once you do that and restart cobblerd, you'll get the actual error which
will help you more. Both forms of input are accepted and correct.
(As a sidenote, Generally you want to avoid uppercase in Python -- it
implies a constant value, while COBSERVER is really a xmlrpc server
proxy object and TOKEN is a string variable).
This will be included in the 1.2.6 stable update, which will probably
come out Friday.

Thanks for the heads up -- this is in fact unrelated as nothing is
making use of this function, but it's still wrong.
I'll fix this as well.
