my bad
i had done a hard link copy of the original Fedora tree to my test
Fedora tree and when i messed around with anaconda in the test tree - i
didnt realise it was messing with the original too. That's why my
'original' tests were failing too.
I started fresh and this time did a full copy instead of a hard link -
the RHupdates directory works as advertised!
