1. F11 is quite old
2. the createrepo in there has seen a fair number of changes, too.
3. Can you verify in createrepo/merge.py in your createrepo pkg that you
see something that says:

            metadata_expire=0,

anywhere in there?

I doubt it is - it was added in jan of 2011.

Seems likely that a newer createrepo will solve your problem.
