Custom comps.xml x86_64 no ix86 packages being installed

[Mark Selby <mselby@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to install CentOS 4.3 x86_64 on an Operton class server and 
having the following issue. I have created a custom comps.xml which I 
have been using very successfully and happily Under CentOS 4.3 i386 for 
sometime now. This is a very pared down version that is used only for 
unattended kickstart installs. When I use this comps.xml file on the 
x86_64 CentOS using kickstart none of the ix86 compatibility packages 
get installed. When I use the comps.xml that comes with the 
distribution, the ix86 packages along with the x86_64 packages all get 
installed. I need the 32 bit libs for some legacy apps so I want to try 
and figure what in my comps.xml is preventing all the architecture rpms 
from getting installed. All and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is my comps.xml
