I don't think you want the -c flag as that seems to give an alternative
to /etc/yum.conf, while the .repo files live by default
in /etc/yum.repos.d
Try omitting the "-c rpmforge.repo" and just put the rpmforge.repo file
in the above directory. If you do not want it enabled by default,
include the line "enabled=0" and use "yum --enable rpmforge <command>
<parameters>". If that fails, post the .repo file for further opinions.
For my local repos, I tend to NFS mount the filesystem and use
"file:/..." syntax in the .repo files. This avoids having yum copy the
RPMs to /var/cache/yum/<repo_name>/...

Have seen that (apparently non-fatal) message sometime in the past, but
not recently. Is the system up to date? Are you using the CentOS yum
and sqlite packages?

Perhaps because of the "-c".

May need to run "createrepo" on the "dag" directory. Probably need to
do
"yum install createrepo" as it is not installed by default.

Sorry Karanbir, but I beg to differ. There seem to be some issues here
that have to do with using yum and local repos on CentOS that are not
RPMforge-specific. OTOH, an answer might come from there, so I would
not discourage a post on that fine list if this does not help.
