OK ... yum caches metadata ... so for a period of time there is a file in cache that MIGHT be different (if there are changes on the mirror).

You should start with this if you have that problem:

yum clean metadata

I'll try this next time.

However ... this sounds like a different problem because ... yumgroups.xml never really changes, except when we release a new ISO.

Are you rebuilding your metadata with createrepo ... if you are, are you using the -g option?

Nope, I don't use creatrepo; I just rsync the entire repo from one of the mirrors. Running "yum grouplist" as root updated the cached version of yumgroups.xml, and now everthing is in sync again.
