[tools] mrepo and x86_64

[Mark Bassett]

Ok, so I have been unable to get mrepo to download the x86_64 stuff from RHN.  I have a perfectly working i386 repository, and I have this set up the same way, and have no luck.  I get :

Execute: exec /usr/bin/rhnget  -v -v --delete --release="4ES" --username="myusernameisremoved" --password="mypasswordisremoved" 'rhns://rhel-x86_64-es-4-fastrack' '/var/mrepo/rhel4es-x86_64/fastrack'
Verbosity set to level 2
Using RHN systemid from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
Using RHN release 4ES
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/rhnget", line 335, in mirrorrhn
    systemid = rhnlogin(url, path)
  File "/usr/bin/rhnget", line 302, in rhnlogin
    li = rpcServer.doCall(server.up2date.login, systemid)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 246, in doCall
    raise up2dateErrors.CommunicationError(e.args[1])
up2date_client.up2dateErrors.CommunicationError: Error communicating with server. The message was:
Name or service not known
mrepo: Mirroring failed for rhns://rhel-x86_64-es-4-fastrack with message:
  Failed with return code: 256

The system can update itself just fine from redhat, I just can't get mrepo to work.
