In all my unit tests on various systems, the first invocation of update-rpms will add any items not already in the cache, and the remaining runs will simply validate that the cache is correct. Since my unit tests work, the thing I can't see is how update-rpms is actually called in the OSCAR infrastructure.
SINCE YOU ARE BLATANTLY IGNORING THE COMMAND LINE I POSTED IN MY INITIAL MAIL, I'LL SEND IT AGAIN:
update-rpms --cache=u --url /tftpboot/rpm
Clearly there's a disconnect between my expected usage and the actual usage, which is why I asked Matt to provide me something to add to the current cvs to test what he's running.

The operative usage that everyone's having problems with isn't in the DepMan infrastructure, but in .../oscar/share/prereqs/00update-rpms/scripts/setup, where it's invoked as ${PACKAGE} or somesuch rather than update-rpms itself, but the command line invocation is as stated, "--cache=u --url /tftpboor/rpm". Perhaps "u" isn't capturing the update-not-total-rebuild sense that "update" would.
