They are under /current/etrials-7.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS.  It's not the noarch
updates that I am having trouble with, but the noarch rpms from the 7.2 CDs
being added.

Just curious, but where are your noarch rpms?  

For example, my current config contains this:

[redhat72]
label = redhat-linux-i386-7.2
name = RedHat Linux i386 7.2
parent_channel =
arch = i386
os_release = 7.2
description = RedHat i386 7.2, with all errata applied.

rpm_dirs = /export/install/admin/linux/redhat/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS
           /export/install/admin/linux/redhat/updates/7.2/en/os/i386
           /export/install/admin/linux/redhat/updates/7.2/en/os/i586
           /export/install/admin/linux/redhat/updates/7.2/en/os/i686
           /export/install/admin/linux/redhat/updates/7.2/en/os/noarch
src_dirs =
db_dir = /etc/current/db/redhat-7.2


and I'm getting the noarch updates.

I'm running cadmin as root.  I generated the directory tree as root and
then
copied over the Redhat RPMS directory from the CDs and then copied all
the
patches over after I FTP them down and burned them to a CD.  Here is
what my
current.conf file looks like.

Thanks.

# current config file
# 
# Don't blame me for the format: I'm using as many standard python
modules
#   as possible
#

# General guidelines:
# 1. Every current.conf must have a "current" section, which is the 
#    main config section.
# 2. Section name rule -> '-', '_', alphanum
# 3. field name rule  -> '-', '.', '_', alphanum
# 4. All fields must be present, even if blank.
# 

# General Section descriptions:
# [current]
# valid_channels = list of all the channels to actually use. This allows

#                  the admin to define a channel for future use, or
disable
#                  an old channel without deleting anything.
# log_file = File to send log messages to
# log_level = How much should we send to the log file?
# port_number = what port number should the server be listening on?
#
#
# [channel-section]
# label = Text identifier for this channel. Used as a text index.
#         Values are "redhat-linux-i386-7.1" or "redhat-rawhide-i386"
#         Not the same as the channel section name because labels need
'.'
# name = Text name (human readable) name of this distribution
#        Should be only 1 line.
# parent_channel = Channel representing the base channel that provides
most
#                  of the packages to this one, blank otherwise.
# arch = The cannonical architecture (a family of archs that this
#        channel supports. (i386, sparc, alpha. Not i686, etc)
# os_release = Release of the channel. 6.2, 7.0, 7.2, whatever.
# description = Textual description of what the channel represents. This

#               can be blank or a short paragraph.
# rpm_dirs = list of all the dirs that contain binary rpms that should
be
#            served to clients
# src_dirs = similarly, list of all the src rpms that should be served.
#            Can be empty, but not missing (currently)
# db_dir   = directory containing the current databases
# 
# Note that all channels will also have a "last_modified" field, which
will
# will automatically be created/updated.

The info a output should be a /lot/ longer than that...  from that
output, it looks like you're generating a database from a tree that only
has the kernel and glibc packages available.

Are you running cadmin create as root, or as a user?

How did you generate the directory tree you're trying to create, and how
many packages are in it?
