Ok.. I have confirmed that 2.0  does throw a warning about not being 
able to get a yumgroups.xml file in the updates repo but finds it in the 
base repo and happily shows me a nice list of groups, which I belive is 
as it should.  This is after a "yum clean all" and manually removing all 
of the yumgroups.xml files from /var/yum/cache/*

So, it appears, that this is fixed in 2.0 and I must have just gotten 
confused this morning.. Hey, it's Monday :)

Thanks!
