This is unclear I man pages will be fixed, in fact it should be file:/<path>. where path is absolute, but using non absolute path is correct (!) at least for ftp or http URLs. (you can use cwd when login) For file:/, path should be absolute or problems will comes. Another problem is using with, you have removed one possibility of urpmi (I wonder if this is a bug) where urpmi automatically searches for packages, so writing urpmi.addmedia cdrom1 file://mnt/cd1 is correct (should be) and urpmi find all rpms on the first CD, but urpmi.addmedia cdrom1 file://mnt/cd1 with Mandrake/base/hdlist1.cz removes this possibility of searching (like for ftp or http where with is mandatory).
