There are 2 files in the repo.  Here are the sha1sums:
515925b3868fbf9fed7581bd38a6a54eb78a0e98  VMware-server-1.0.0-24927.i386.rpm
36812d24eb5d2eb0d06f1229c654e955267f7005  VMware-server-1.0.0-27828.i386.rpm

The primary.xml metadata has the checksum of the 24927 release for both 
files.  Here is an extract of the primary.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metadata xmlns="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/common" 
xmlns:rpm="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/rpm" packages="2">
<package type="rpm"><name>VMware-server</name><arch>i386</arch><version 
epoch="0" ver="1.0.0" rel="24927"/><checksum type="
sha" 
pkgid="YES">515925b3868fbf9fed7581bd38a6a54eb78a0e98</checksum><summary>VMware 
Server</summary>...

<package type="rpm"><name>VMware-server</name><arch>i386</arch><version 
epoch="0" ver="1.0.0" rel="27828"/><checksum type="
sha" 
pkgid="YES">515925b3868fbf9fed7581bd38a6a54eb78a0e98</checksum><summary>VMware 
Server</summary>...

The problem appears to be with createrepo.  When I turn off the cache 
option (-c cache) the xml looks correct and yum starts working.

Should I just stop using -c?

John.
