Instead of adding the non-oss stuff to the other structure, you should probably try the same as on the opensuse mirrors:
<server_name>/<path-to-opensuse>/install <---- OSS install sources <server_name>/<path-to-opensuse>/non-oss <---- guess what? :-)
Otherwise, you may wind up overwriting some important files (eg. contents of the media.1 directory).
Indeed, although I got the same failure before adding the non-OSS stuff - that action was an attempt at curing the problem, and I was too lazy to go and check what the path should be...
Also, re-do the install sources structure just to make sure you got it right. If you did it manually before, try the Yast method, and vice versa. You may instead wish to re-master the 5 CD images into one DVD image (http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs), which you can then mount (mount -o loop) on the server and use directly as an installation source.
I just followed the instructions on the website, from a URL posted here a few days ago. Don't forget that the FTP server is running on an XP box, because that's all I have available. Using a Linux tool to create a DVD image is not an option. Why couldn't they just make the ISOs small enough to fit on standard CDRs? Then I wouldn't be trying to do this in the first place... *sigh*
Lots of options, but in the end, your local source certainly should look identical to the "official" mirrors (except for local pathname differences).
Yeah. It would be nice... :) I'm going to bed, or I'm going to have to start foregoing the traditional kettle/mug combination and begin eating the coffee granules directly out of the jar instead... :) Take care, PJ. -- Imagine how, it would be, To be at the top, making cash money.
