I am new to kickstart file, but my understanding of the process is that I am supposed to be able to take the anaconda-ks-cfg file from the /root directory, copy it to an accessible location, and point the install disk to it, and it should reproduce the install I did originally.
I used the 6.5 minimal install ISO, copied and renamed the ks.cfg. It is seen as a kickstart file, but it refuses to complete the install with the error message:
----------------------------------------------------- Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated.
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: CentOS ------------------------------------------------------
I read the kickstart file and found the Centos reference in the "repo" line, which the docs say is optional. I commented out that line, and the file works fine.
I am guessing that this may be a capitalization mismatch? Or is there something I don't know? Do I need to do a bugzilla on this?

its possible the url the --repo line was pointing at was either invalid or not accessible from the location you were doing the install from.

It is pointing at the CDROM. It was mointed. The line is:
repo --name="CentOS" --baseurl=cdrom:sr0 --cost=100
