if spacewalk-repo-sync isn't able to retrieve the metadata it is most likely
that the URL is wrong. For CentOS the following is working:

### Architectures ###
ARCH="x86_64 i386"

### Get packages for CentOS (i386 and x86_64) ###
for archItem in ${ARCH}; do
  spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos-5-${archItem}         --type yum
--label base \
  --url http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/centos/5.4/os/${archItem}
  spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos-5-${archItem}-updates --type yum
--label updates \
  --url http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/centos/5.4/updates/${archItem}
  spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos-5-${archItem}-extras  --type yum
--label extras \
  --url http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/centos/5.4/extras/${archItem}
done

Regards, Thomas
