I ran into the same type of problem when I tried to create a local 
network installation point including the packages from the updates. 
Because of the warning I rerun the whole process using a pkgorder file 
and that worked. Because I didn't look into it any further I wasn't sure 
that the first problem was due to a missing pkgorder or not.  
Nevertheless you may want to try it as well. Here's approximatively the 
commands I used:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder <top dir> i386 > <pkgorder file>

/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --productpath Fedora --pkgorder <pkgorder file> <top dir>

/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --product "Fedora Core" --version 3 --release "Fedora Core 3" --pkgorder <pkgorder file> --prodpath Fedora <top dir>
