Good idea -- perhaps someone would like to see about getting that added?

No problem.

Yeah, I think you are trying to hard with the "document root" stuff -- 
it's an unneeded step. The mount point is temporary, there is no point 
in mounting it to your document root as cobbler will put that data there 
anyway and you don't want to have to leave the ISOs mounted (loopback or 
otherwise).

There is no error in anything that you posted.

You should see output from "cobbler list" that shows some objects were 
created by Cobbler, and you can then unmount the ISOs as you will no 
longer need them (again, import makes
a copy into /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror for you).

Does that answer the question or am I missing something?
