yum -C ???

Hello folks

I've been doing my best to minimalise my iNet usage and have tired both 
running a networked yum cache over nfs and also mirroring my yum cache 
via rsync between machines - all with keepcache=1 in /etc/yum.conf on 
the "master" machine.

Either way I'm getting "Caching enabled but no local cache of..." errors.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Copied below are the outputs from the NFS and then rsync tries.

Thanks all.
Regards,
Morgan..
