CentOS - Apr 2012 - local repo question

I have created a local repo for CentOS 6 x86_64.
I use a machine at 192.168.1.14 for that and created a directory structure
/var/www/html/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64
then there are these directories at the location.

Packages repodata

Both are populated with many files.

In my kickstart file I have a line:
#repo --name=Updates 
--baseurl=http://192.168.1.14/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64/

All seems fine. If the line is comment as above the install is fine, 
just base 6.2 with no updates.

If I uncomment the line I get some error about dbus package is incorrect.

Is there something I am missing???

My script to keep the local repo up to date is:
for VERSION in "6.2"
do
     mkdir -p /var/www/html/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/Packages
     mkdir -p /var/www/html/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/repodata

         PLACE="mirror.team-cymru.org/CentOS"
         rsync -av rsync://$PLACE/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/Packages/* 
/var/www/html/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/Packages
         rsync -av rsync://$PLACE/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/repodata/* 
/var/www/html/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/repodata
done

Thanks,

Jerry

try:

cd /var/www/html/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64
createrepo .

then chown -R all the files so they're readable by the web server.

See if that updates the repodata properly.

Did you check your apache logs for 404s?
Try with VERSION = '6'...

I tried the two suggestions:

I am now using "createrepo ."
and chown -R and chmod -R to make sure they are readable by apache.

I also change my repo line from   using 6.2 to just use 6.
repo --name=Updates --baseurl=http://192.168.1.14/centos/6/updates/x86_64/


I have a symbolic link from 6 to 6.2

There error I get is the same:
"fatal error occured when installing the dbus package." Exit
installer.

Doing ALT-F2 at that point and looking around at files in /tmp I see no 
errors,
nothing is in /var/log/

What else can I try? Thanks,

Jerry
