We can stop right here You have download error for gdb etc.!!!

Look for :
"HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror."

There is something wrong with either your .repo config file or with 
location of the files on the server.

Yum looks for gdb file in:
http://172.16.22.8/yum/updatevm/getPackage/gdb-7.0.1-37.el5.x86_64.rpm

Where is it physically located? It's like whole folder was moved after 
createrepo was run (Just an speculation, I am not that good with 
repository internal structure).

Fix that path problem and yum should work.
