Got an rsync of the 6.4 repo done and set up one system to use it and 
that system still does not see the newer autofs contained in the base os 
repo.  Not sure if there are other packages in this same state, autofs 
is one that we use heavily here so any updates to it are noticed pretty 
quick.  When I saw that it was available in the 6.4 repo and noticed 
that none of my 6.4 systems were getting that update it raised a flag.  
I can still run a "yum localupdate <path to new autofs>" and it works 
just fine.  But there seems to be something wrong with the package or 
the repo keeping it from being seen as an update to the 6.3 version.
