For SuSE 8.1 they were under:

/var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/

For 8.2 they have changed again.

Notice that the contents of the patches dir (not the rpms dir) for 8.1
(the original poster is asking about 8.1) are not the original patches
files on the server, but they are modified by YOU after downloading and
installing. I'm talking about those little files containing the patch
info, not the rpm patches themselves.

In the case of SuSE 8.2, this might be different, I have not checked yet;
in the case they are identical to those on the server then they can be
used to create a mirror or local update server.

SuSE might think of developing a local YOU server: if there is a local
copy, use it; if there isn't, retrieve it, all in a way transparent for
other YOU sessions in the local intranet.
