Can you verify that the rsync is completing? There should be a message in /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log with the output from the rsync. My bet is that it's not copying everything (or completely failing somehow) and thus the required files for import are not there.

Hey all,
I'm new to this list, and to cobbler. I'm able to run a successful cobbler import against a local distro (basically I mounted the first DVD iso from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.1.0/amd64/iso-dvd/ ) using the following command:
cobbler import --name=wheezy --breed=debian --os-version=wheezy --path=/mnt/cdrom
That command imports wheezy-x86_64, wheezy-gtk-x86_64, wheezy-xen-x86_64 This is all fine, but that's not really what I want to do.
I want to be able to import from a remote path. I've found lots of sites recommending the parameters, and none of them work. Here's my current command line:
cobbler import --name=wheezy --breed=debian --arch=x86_64 --os-version=wheezy --path="rsync:// ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/ "
The result is: task started: 2013-10-02_124212_import task started (id=Media import, time=Wed Oct 2 12:42:12 2013) No signature matched in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/wheezy-x86_64 !!! TASK FAILED !!!
What's weird was that a couple of days ago, that same (I think) command line WAS importing, but it was a whole ton of stuff I didn't want, eg.:
wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b2-cdrom-gtk-x86_64 wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b2-cdrom-x86_64 wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b2-cdrom-xen-x86_64 wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b3-cdrom-gtk-x86_64 wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b3-cdrom-x86_64 wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b3-cdrom-xen-x86_64
for every architecture and every release and every distribution (like
Now it just doesn't work at all, just errors out with the "TASK FAILED" error. I tried blowing away /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/wheezy-x86_64
Am I using the wrong method, or rsync path, or something else? I tried checking the maillist archives but didn't find anything.
Thanks
