It was the current version from yum:
Version 2.8 (svn r15205, built Mon Feb 18 17:01:27 EST 2013)

I'll arrange something for that tomorrow when I'm in the office (it's a
public holiday here today).

Yup, I can confirm that it exists, I took the shortcut of:
[root@barcoo-m ~]# mkdir /tmp/initrd
[root@barcoo-m ~]# cd /tmp/initrd
[root@barcoo-m initrd]# zcat
/install/netboot/rhels6/x86_64/compute/initrd-statelite.gz | cpio -idum
95187 blocks
[root@barcoo-m initrd]# ls cmdline/
01parse-kernel.sh 10parse-root-opts.sh 20parse-blacklist.sh
90parse-nfsroot.sh 91dhcp-root.sh 95parse-vlan.sh 97parse-bridge.sh
98parse-ip-opts.sh 99parse-ifname.sh
So it is there.
In case it helps here's the definition of "rhel64nophi" from
the osimage table, this is after I'd swapped it from NFS root
to ramdisk but I get the same error with that too.
[root@barcoo-m ~]# lsdef -t osimage -o rhel64nophi

The package lists are copied straight from xCAT:

All the best!
