I've setup a local yum repository for about 25 workstations and I'm
using rsync from a local mirror.  Do I need to create my own XML
headers, i.e. the 'repodata' directory, or since I'm syncing the whole
updates directory can I use the 'repodata' directory from the mirror?

Yes, that should be fine if you rsync the whole thing.

I also have a question on using createrepo.  The directory layout is:

~/updates/
~/updates/headers/
~/updates/repodata/
~/updates/RPMS/

If I do the following in the 'updates' directory:

# createrepo -v ./RPMS

The 'repodata' diretcory is created under the 'RPMS' directory and not
the current 'updates' directory.  How can I have the 'repodata'
directory created/updated in the correct directory under 'updates'?

You need to run |createrepo| against the directory under which you want the |repodata| directory to appear. In your case run:

createrepo ~/updates
