I fixed my problem. yum.conf had my-local repo pointed at 
/home/david/rpm,the KDE.rpms are in rpm/Kde and no headers in 
/var/cache/. So I added separate repo's for each dir.

[my-local-0]
name=My Local Repo
baseurl=file:///home/david/rpm

[my-local-1]
name=My Local Repo
baseurl=file:///home/david/rpm/Alsa

[my-local-2]
name=My Local Repo
baseurl=file:///home/david/rpm/Lib

[my-local-3]
name=My Local Repo
baseurl=file:///home/david/rpm/Mplayer

[my-local-4]
name=My Local Repo
baseurl=file:///home/david/rpm/Mysql

[my-local-5]
name=My Local Repo
baseurl=file:///home/david/rpm/Kde

Then ran yum-arch after cleaning up the rpm's
yum update then loaded in KDE but not as a group.
