Hi Michael

Without seeing your logs of the failed install it's pretty hard to say. I've 
had pretty good luck with quickly creating add on sources with the Addon 
Creator Yast package:

http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Creating_Add-on_Media_with_YaST

It's only a test/beta version but works pretty well.  I've managed to create 
auto install repos of the HP PSP rpms, Tomcat 5.5 from the build service and 
more.  Create the repo using that tool, signing it with your key and then use 
an sml snippet just like you have there to provice it to the profile.  Don't 
forget the import key setting that Uwe pointed out if you are using your own 
signing key.

Cheers

Pete
