you need newer createrepo and yum-presto:
http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/5/i386/other/RPMS/
and don't set checkum eg i used to use this command:
-----------------------------------------
createrepo -c /var/cache/createrepo -d --update --checkts --skip-stat
--deltas --oldpackagedirs <dir> <dir>
-----------------------------------------
of course create a /var/cache/createrepo before run, or if you've time:
-----------------------------------------
createrepo -d --deltas --oldpackagedirs <dir> <dir>
-----------------------------------------
