Hrmpf, I thought, the simple fix would be enough, but it's not that 
easy.. Your latest changes made the whole thing explode!
Biggest issue:
The href value in location tag in primary.xml.gz is an absolute
pathname now, with the net result, that subsequent yum runs cannot 
correctly locate the rpm files.

If the cachedir argument is given as an relative path, it's moved up one 
directory, compared to former behavior (0.4.5 put them on the same 
level as "repodata"). I'm not sure, I like that move - pardon - I'm 
sure, I don't like that move ;-)

Gone back to my last version, until this is sorted out..
