This is a bit OT, apologies in advance.
This message is about two things. One is a question about adding checksums for certain files which checksums rug/zypper complains are missing and the other is that the instructions for create_update_source may need updating.
The following is what zypper sa complains about:
$ sudo zypper sa \
nfs://svr.cl.cam.ac.uk/vol/vol3/sys-li9/suse-10.2/updates \ SUSE-10.2-CL-updates
root's password: 6733 zmd ZENworks Management Daemon is running. WARNING: this command will not synchronize changes. Use rug or yast2 for that.

To set this update source up I am using the script create_update_source in the inst-source-utils RPM and a version of the instructions provided here:
and here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Inst-source-utils
These instructions may need updating because I had problems specifying a name for the update source directory. In the crib below, BASE is set to the top-level of my network installation source. The difference between this and the instructions on the web page above is that I no longer can choose the sub-directory name to be e.g. myInstallSource as they suggest, rather create_update_source always creates $TARGET/updates where $TARGET is whatever directory name is the parameter.
VERSION=10.2 BASE=/usr/groups/suse-$VERSION KEYID=rpm-packager RPMS=/global/src/RPMS/
# Build the repository cd $BASE create_update_source.sh ./ for arch in i386 i586 i686 x86_64 ; do mkdir -p updates/suse/$arch cp $RPMS/*.$arch.rpm updates/suse/$arch/ done cd updates/suse/ create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV cd setup/descr/ ls > directory.yast
# Sign it cd $BASE/updates gpg --export --armor $KEYID > content.key gpg -b --sign --armor -u $KEYID content ls > directory.yast

I found the answer in the comments at the top of the create_update_source script. Here is what the instructions for this ought to be:
# Set some variables VERSION=10.2 BASE=/usr/groups/suse-$VERSION KEYID=rpm-packager RPMS=/global/src/RPMS/nmh/SUSE102/
# Build the repository cd $BASE create_update_source.sh ./ for arch in i386 i586 i686 x86_64 ; do mkdir -p updates/suse/$arch cp $RPMS/*.$arch.rpm updates/suse/$arch/ done cd updates/suse/ create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV cd setup/descr/ ls > directory.yast for i in * ; do echo -n "META SHA1 " sha1sum $i | awk '{ORS=""; print $1}' echo -n " " basename $i done >> $BASE/updates/content
# Sign it cd $BASE/updates gpg --export --armor $KEYID > content.key gpg -b --sign --armor -u $KEYID content ls > directory.yast
