Cobbler runs through a copy of the DVD tree and identifies the varies 
"split" repos and runs createrepo on them.

Having duplicates in the file shouldn't itself be a problem for yum, the 
theory was that createrepo might have munged the repo, but seeing this 
was an Anaconda traceback I was hoping someone might have better insight 
as to how a "None" could get in there.
