Dag,

	That fixed it thanks. But now I'm trying to separate the iso's by 
distribution/$arch. They work fine if they're under /var/mrepo/iso, but 
if I try /var/mrepo/iso/distribution/$arch as it says in docs/usage.txt, 
mrepo doesn't find them.
	Do I need to specify the dir path in /etc/mrepo.conf.d/$dist-$arch.conf?

Best Regards.
