yum and groupinstall

[Tom Murray <tmurray3@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have setup a local repository containing several .rpm files.  I 
created a comps.xml file outlining the category and groups for the local
 repository.  However, when I issue the yum grouplist command, I get the
 following error:

Failed to add groups file for repository: localRepo - comps file is empty/damaged

However, if I try to install one of the the packages in the repository, it works just fine.  

Here are the steps I took to create the repodata:

The comps.xml and repository are stored in the directory:
/var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64

cd /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
createrepo -g comps.xml .

This created a /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64/repodata directory which contains the comps.xml and comps.xml.gz file.



Here is my comps.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE comps PUBLIC "-//Red Hat, Inc.//DTD Comps info//EN" "comps.dtd">

  <group>
