xdelta is broken for files larger than 2GB, even on 64-bit arches.
rsync batches work though, and I actually have working code to create
the rsync batch files out of the CD isos, and vice-versa, as well as
to create SRPMS isos for one arch out of the SRPMS for the other, and
I posted it to this list (or was it -test?) a few weeks ago.
