It seems that your using the wrong path.
http://mirrors.nl.kernel.org/centos/5.3/os/i386/repodata/repomd.xml
Te good path is:
http://mirrors.nl.kernel.org/centos/5/os/i386/repodata/repomd.xml
Here is also a message:
This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users,
you should use /5/ and not /5.3/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
concerning the CentOS release scheme:
