You're missing the yast-source at the end.  The general rule is: view the 
target directory in a web browser to verify it has what you want, then lop 
off the /suse/i586 (since Yast will add it).  If /suse/i586 isn't there, the 
target directory isn't usable by Yast.   And (I missed this the first time) 
don't start the path with a slash when you provide it to Yast.
