This right here sets off alarm bells, whatever is causing
you to have to do these above steps (chmod rhn.conf, cobbler-setup,
etc) is very likely to be the root of your problems. I think you need
to hit the brakes here and figure out what's causing this before
proceeding. 

We have established that Spacewalk installs do not normally hit these
problems you're experiencing, so to me your situation screams of two
possible causes. The least likely is there's a problem with
Spacewalk within Vmware, the more likely is that you're doing
something unorthodox or unexpected during the install and not even
realizing it. No offense but your emails are littered with rogue
commands to hack around problems that make it extremely difficult to
tell what you may have done to the system during the install, so we need
to know precisely what you've done to rule this out.

If you really want to get this fixed I think you need to start with a
fresh Cent OS install and note each and every command you run and task
you perform as you install spacewalk right up until the point that you
realize you need to chmod rhn.conf. (for starters) Send that off to the
list and we'll see what happens from there.

Cheers,

Devan
