Aha! This seems to indeed be the gotcha. Here is the output (shouldn't
need to be gzipped this time :-))

root at rux:~# rinse --distribution=centos-5 --arch=i386 --directory=/tmp/f

However, at least the rinse part works flawlessly with centos-4.
There is at least one bug (unless I'm missing somethin' big), and that is:
root at rux:~# ls /tmp/fusr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber.skx/keepalive.py
keepalive.py   keepalive.pyc  keepalive.pyo
I don't know if this is the issue..., these seem to be getting put
where they shouldn't.
I might try another repo or a bit of a debug.
Cheers
Anton
ps, updated (?) rinse to the 0.6.tar.gz
