Bob, I was able to put together a policy to allow the files to be created. I will publish it to the mailing list later.

I see all my own repo directories in my corresponding /var/cache/yum. Here is an example of the content of mine: [root@cobbler1 ~]# ls -al /var/cache/yum/EPEL total 21664 drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Jul 3 10:06 . drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4096 Jun 22 15:57 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 234887 Jun 30 20:23 00363f350c073727b05d727a7c2556dab7c1d09450b628ab3f75070d897d0e60-comps-el6.xml.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 20734976 Jul 3 09:55 340d89d8a3a02fb9da8502fd5e96afb58243633d2365a02e2ae95cbc2ac6fba0-primary.sqlite -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Jul 3 09:55 cachecookie -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1187212 Jun 30 20:23 fe8d76e72c668fc7e4994c9a57ec7fd76a10b8b8d63bf63787e95635ed004615-comps-el6.xml drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jul 3 09:55 gen -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4118 Jun 30 20:46 repomd.xml I think you must have created a cobbler repo with the command 'cobbler repo create --name=epelrepo --path=[...]' ...if cobbler is trying to reposync it. You can check this with 'cobbler repo list' or 'cobbler repo report' If you do all your work in the bash shell, which is what I do, you can also check the command you issued (as root) by searching the history file: egrep 'name=epelrepo' ~/.bash_history I hope this helps.
