|/data/mirror/SL/4x/i386 and
|/data/mirror/SL/4x/x86_64 than I changed my kickstart.cfg to install

|
|nfs --server=192.168.52.253  --dir=/data/mirror/SL/4x/x86_64/SL/

You might try it without the "SL/" part.

We use

   ... --dir=$basepath/SciLinux/3.0.4/64bit/LiveFS

The contents of that are:

   apt/      images/    misc/   RELEASE-NOTES.html  RPM-GPG-KEYs/  SL.documentation/  SRPMS/
   contrib/  isolinux/  README  RHupdates/          SL/            SL.releasenote

I built that directory by mounting the ISOs via
loopback (man mount for details).  I don't know
how that compares to what you're getting via
rsync, but if these sorts of contents are in
the same dir as SL/, that's where you need to
point.  Or you may need to go down a level or
two; without having your file tree right here
it's hard to say for sure.
