bad rsync module management?

[Duncan Hutty]

I'm working on getting a replication slave going and I'm having some
trouble, and I'm trying to determine whether my assumptions are broken and
I'm misunderstanding or whether (my?) cobbler is broken.

I'll try to put it as simply as I can:

If the cobbler master has foo in the output of `cobbler repo list` and  the
replication log on my slave has 'repo': ['foo'] in the remote names struct
and foo is in the 'transfer list for repo', how come I get  "@ERROR:
Unknown module 'repo-foo'" from cobbler replicate --repos=foo?

Here's what I did:

cmaster# cobbler repo list
   foo
   bar
   baz

cslave# cobbler replicate --repos='foo' --master=cmaster.example.com

Querying Both Servers
remote names struct is {'profile':[
<snip>
],'repo':['foo',
<snip>
]
<snip>
Rsyncing distros
Rsyncing repos
running: rsync -avzH cmaster.example.com::repo-foo
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/foo
received on stdout:
received on stderr: @ERROR: Unknown module 'repo-foo'

And then I verified the rsync modules:
cslave# rsync --list-only cmaster.example.com::

cobbler-distros All Cobbler Distros
cobbler-repos   All Cobbler Distros
cobbler-kickstarts      Cobbler Kickstarts
cobbler-snippets        Cobbler Snippets
cobbler-triggers        Cobbler Triggers
repo-bar                  Cobbler Repo bar
repo-baz                 Cobbler Repo baz
distro-bar                 Cobbler Distro bar
distro-baz                Cobbler Distro baz

But no entry for repo-foo!

Any suggestions for how to troubleshoot/fix?
Thanks,

Is foo set to mirror locally? If so, have you done a "cobbler sync" to make
sure the rsyncd.conf is rewritten?

Yes and yes.
