You have to substitute the '...' with a number. For me, zypper lr says
# | Alias                     | Name                      | Enabled | Refresh
--+---------------------------+---------------------------+---------+--------
1 | KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop | KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop | Yes     | Yes    
2 | openSUSE 11.1-0           | openSUSE 11.1-0           | Yes     | Yes    
3 | repo-non-oss              | openSUSE-11.1-Non-Oss     | Yes     | Yes    
4 | repo-source               | openSUSE-11.1-Source      | Yes     | Yes    
5 | repo-update               | openSUSE-11.1-Update      | No      | Yes    

so I'd use 'zypper mr -e 4'

But 'zypper si' still won't work because of 2), this needs
to be fixed on our side.

Cheers,
  Michael.
