Thanks for this. I needed it already on my first spacewalk install when 
I messed up my channel layout. Apparently a repo sync doesn't work if 
the packages already exist on the file system. After setting up a 
channel, adding a repo, and syncing, I had packages in my channel. 
However, I had to delete the channel and set it up again. When I hit 
"Sync" my package count stayed at 0. I ran your script and ran "Sync" 
again and I had packages in my channel again.
