I think you may be using cobbler wrong. Import is used to import distributions into cobbler not systems. For instance, you can import Fedora 8 but not a machine installed with Fedora 8.

Indeed. Import operates on DVD ISO's or rsync mirrors of distributions, such as the kind you typically find on kernel.org. Read the manpage and the Wiki for more documentation and examples of what this is intended to do.

Additionally, it only supports RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora imports. For other Linux support, use "cobbler distro add", not import, patches are always welcome to add import for other distros.
