9.1 you local update

Hi, Slight problem here. I had a friend download the updates from a suse mirror. I copied the updates to a local directory and tried to run YOU. I turned off the YAST@_LOADFTPSERVER and added the local directory to /etc/youservers but when I try to run the update I get the message: "Patch information retrieval failed." "error Unable to read the directory './i386/update/9.1/patches'." Any thoughts?
