Sorry about that.  Anyone know how I can set up a redirect from the old 
repo to epel?

Hmm - nothing there to indicate a problem with the GUI.  Is that it?  Is

ResourceSet: found in cache loader9690857:com.netscape.management.client.util.default

Usually these sorts of problems are related to Java, X windows/fonts, 
running the console remotely via ssh or vnc, etc.  but there's nothing 
here to suggest that.
