Is anaconda using yum to figure out what needs to be installed? Is it possible that yum is looking at what is installed on my box and not installing into my livecd temp directory because it thinks everything is already installed?

Yes I even reran createrepo with the -v option to watch all of the rpms being processed (483/483).
Does anyone know which file(s) anaconda reads to get the list of rpms to install?

You should probably copy all of the RPMs to the RPM directory, if you
are using CDs.
Can you run createrepo as you stated above with all the RPMs in the
directory
and print the info after it is done, from your terminal? It should say
xxx/xxx packages.
