I think, off the top of my head (at work, on Windows box), that you need a "/"
at the end of your source name to work properly, otherwise it thinks you just
want that directory.

Like:
fmirror -l /home/ftg/cooker -r /mirrors/mandrake/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ -s
videl.ics.hawaii.edu

Using rsync myself now because it is much faster to update my local cooker copy.
