I didn't ever have any errors... but I've been using the root directory as
the pointer to hdlist for three years.  =)  Anyways, I tried 9.1 and point
genhdlist to updates/9.1/RPMS instead of updates/9.1 and it seems to work
fine.

I will go through and test the rest to see if they can all be done that way.
If so, then the problem is easily solved.  =)
