Looks like I'm running the same version as you:
# createrepo -V
0.4.3

Error: groupfile
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/i386/os/repodata/comps.xml cannot
be found.
etc.
I've just noticed this in the createrepo manpage though:
EXAMPLES
Here is an example of a repository with a groups file. Note
that the
groups file should be in the same directory as the rpm packages
(i.e.
/path/to/rpms/comps.xml).
createrepo -g comps.xml /path/to/rpms
# createrepo --groupfile comps.xml
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/i386/os
still failed, but
# createrepo --groupfile repodata/comps.xml
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/i386/os
Seems to work fine for me. I don't understand why what is apparently
the same version of createrepo should work differently for us unless
something is actually different between the centos release and whichever
one you're using.
