I've seen this working on a RHEL 5.1 system already (other than mine), so I am not entirely sure what's up.
The tail of /var/log/cobbler/cobblerd.log or /var/log/cobbler/webui.log might yield something relevant.
(Actually permissons of webui.log could be causing problems also...should also be writeable by Apache, and if neccessary, SELinux tagged
appropriately)
Other than that and the instructions on the Wiki I don't have a lot of ideas without taking a closer look at the box.
