Are you running Cobbler 1.6?  If so we are realizing that Spacewalk 0.4 
and Cobbler 1.6 which just landed in epel-testing are incompatible.

What happened is Cobbler 1.6 changed its path to the API from

http://spacewalk.example.com:80/cobbler_api_rw

to:

http://spacewalk.example.com:80/cobbler_api

Partha is working on a httpd rewrite that you can add to get you around 
this issue.

Other option is to install Spacewalk 0.5 :)
