Got some of the problem figured out.  It's in the area of the $releasever 
variable which is apparantely not being returned properly.

In the repo files, it I substitute the number "5" for $releasever, it works 
just fine.  Where does yum (system) get the $releasever variable from?  Is it 
being parsed properly?  I'm assuming "5" would be the correct value to use as 
it would be the truncated result of "5.9" and there are no "6's" in the list.

When I attempt to do an echo of the $releasever, it returns nothing.
