That's interesting because I think that is they way I have it. The
headers and repodata are at the same level as packages all of which are
in the updates directory.

Here's the relevant section of the repo file. 

[updates]
name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - updates
baseurl=http://mirror.myserver.com/repomirror/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/updates

I'll try and run createrepo again and see if it makes any difference. 

Thanks,
