Thanks to all who replied.

Removed/disabled repos under /etc/yum.repos.d and scheduled remote installation went through successfully.


Thanks

If the client isn't connected to the internet directly, make sure you've removed any old repo's under /etc/yum.repos.d/, as it may be trying to pull from that repo instead of Spacewalk. 

You shouldn't need to modify anything under /etc/yum/pluginconf.d. Looks like the client had an issue downloading repodata from the Spacewalk server. This is cached in Spacewalk under /var/cache/rhn/repodata. Make sure /var/cache/rhn is owned by apache.root, Verify taskomatic is running and has built the necessary repodata for your channel. /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log. I've seen that error happen before when taskomatic was currently building the necessary repodata for the channel.
