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).
