Repos are assigned a cost of 1000 by default, with repos having a lower
cost being favored over higher cost ones, try appending --cost= to your
local repo string.
ie:
repo --name=jdfhjdsfh --baseurl=file:///mnt/path --cost=500

It didn't work. I set all repos with --cost> 1000 and only
file=///my-local-repo had --cost=250. livecd-creator still prefers to
download the files instead of using the ones, that've already been
downloaded. Any other ideas?
