Then I was correct. Try instead:

urpmi.removemedia cooker-updates

And then (all one line, of course):

urpmi.addmedia --update cooker-updates
file://mnt/mandrake/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz

And see if the GUI update tool now works as you'd expect it to. The key, 
as I stated, is using the "--update" option on that command line.
