I tried to add a new directory full of RPMs with urpmi/rpmdrake to his database and it 
took me
quit a while till I found out why it does not work.
"urpmi.addmedia" gets confuesed by zero-sized RPMs. (CD-R was damaged)
Of course you can say "that is a problem with your RPM-directory not with 
urpmi.addmedia",
but I think a programm this important like "urpmi.addmedia" should be able to handle
problems like this. 
It should simply add the RPMs in the directory and skip the bad ones 
(perhaps saying what RPMs couldn't be added at the end).
But simply stopping and refusing to go on is not a good help.

Hope this helps

P.S.: I'm using Mandrake 8.2beta3
