[tools] Creating repo metadata failures

[Michael Mansour]

Hi,
 
When I create my metadata using:
 
# mrepo -fgvvvvv
I get errors with:
 
...

the multitude of others run through fine, then it hangs on this bit forever until I ctrl-c it (and delete the lock file):

I've tried to trouble-shoot the problem but have been unsuccessful thus far.
 
The "hang" only started happening with I added another [ ] stanza in my "/etc/mrepo.conf.d/sl5.conf file, so I could mount multiple ISO DVD's for SL50 and SL51 (I couldn't find a way I could do this in the one [ ] section using multiple " iso = " commands).
 
Appreciate any help and advice. Thanks.
 
Michael.
