OK,

        Call off the hounds. createrepo still works. It seems there is one bad 
package
in the x86_64 directory that is causing things to blow up. So we are backing 
up....

while createrepo --update -d /home/backup/rpms/openSUSE_11.0; do for i in $(ls
-1t sav-110-repo/x86_64/ | tail -n100); do mv sav-110-repo/x86_64/$i
openSUSE_11.0/x86_64/; done; done

        How a single package can cause createrepo to blow-up -- dunno, but we 
will find
out :p
