Sorry about that. There was no empty lines between the outputs, so I 
overlooked it.

As it looks like from here, you have manualy set local repo's, with 
updates done without internet or in-house repository. Updates must have 
been copied via DVD or USB drive. "5.6" might be hardcoded.

Groups are being pulled from regular repository using *-comps.xml files, 
like base-comps.xml. In your case, comps file is not present (or used) 
since you use a folder (without repodata/repoview subfolder).

There are how-to's for creating those files using createrepo command and 
similar.

Take a look at /etc/yum.repos.d/ for more details.
