Ray,

Thanks, I was just checking the SHA sums using sha1sum and yum's  
misc.checksum() and I couldn't get either to match what's in the  
primary.xml.gz metadata.

Further investigation seems to indicate the upstream mirror we're  
syncing from is corrupt. Whoops, who looks silly now. :)

Thanks all,
Tom
