Thanks Scott and Michael,
I was unclear as to whether it was possible. I did not read any doco that explicitly said import could not be used for that purpose.
Thats ok though, there is always more than one way to get the job done.
Thanks for the prompt reply,
Darren

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.
