redhat-install-packages sometimes fails with /mnt/cdrom error message

On some of our Red Hat 9 machines,

redhat-install-packages <rpms>


will fail with the message


Install Tree Not Found

   The path /mnt/cdrom does not look
   like a valid installation source


This seems a bit strange, since this variant of the tool is supposed to install specific RPMs passed on the command line, not read a distribution CD.

On other hosts, the command works as expected, i.e. it will try to
install or upgrade the packages specified on the command line rather
like 'rpm -U' would. I'm really baffled by this, as I've looked and
looked again, but I just can't see any differences between the hosts
where this command works as expected an the ones where it doesn't. Any
ideas?

All this with redhat-config-packages-1.1.8-1 and rhpl-0.93.4-1.
