Question - Grab newbie

Hi

I have had a quick look through the archives with no answers to this - I
struggled to find a nice way of searching it so had to use Google.

I have setup a basic repository for the project I'm doing (a customised CD)
now when I run grab against it it comes back with

-Updating remote RPM cache database
 ->Indexed [1] RPMS from LongReef
-Updating remote provides database with new packages
-Comparing 1 of 1 with Valgor

-Obtaining current RPM list
-Filtered Package Statistics:
 0 Consolidated, 0 Diff Arch, 0 Current,  Skip List, 1 Other Status

The 1 Other is the only rpm in the repository - why doesn't it come back as
Current or New?

Next I want to be able basically to drop any rpms into the repository and my
customised boxes to automatically find them each night and install them
whether they are updates or New - is this possible?  I know I can the
nightly bit with cron but I can't work out what the syntax for grab is.

Thanks

Gavin
