When a source is properly configured, there are three files per source.
If the souce is called "Main", then there will be:
  hdlist.Main.cz
  list.Main
  synthesis.hdlist.Main.cz

Willing to bet that you did the update process during the install, but
it didn't succeed all the way.

1) Look in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.conf.  Is there a defined source for "Update
for Mandrake Linux 9.0 (ftp1u)"?
2) If yes, urpmi.update -a should have fixed it.
3) Since you said it didn't, most likely that source is not defined in
/etc/urpmi/urpmi.conf, so just delete the file that it's complaining
about.
