Really? Maybe you were running the Xen Kernel?
However, I am still unclear as to why the kernel-headers were installed and it was not detecting them.
See above.
Also, how would I have resolved this issue of invisible sources and headers if it had not just magically started working.
As per your yum command they were already install, you just needed a reboot to the new kernel.
I also read just now, how the xen kernel, as installed with Virtualization, will not work well with VBox so maybe that was it, however, how would that cause the setup script not to see the installed sources and headers?
That is not true. I have machine that coexists with Xen and Kvm x86_64.
Do I need to restart the system when the headers and sources are installed?
Yes for newly installed kernels like Mark said.
Even though it is now working, I am still unclear why it wasn't, and why it is now resolved.
The reboot?
