Since reposync (yum-utils >1.0.4) works with rhn_yum_plugin again, make some fixes to

enable repo handling to work better.  Repos are no longer symlinked so if a name of
a repository is specified that uses a channel, the repo must be named after the channel.Tested with yum-utils 1.0.4 and works fine.
