May be totally off mark, but - you have to rsync until you get no updates. New files may have come while you rsync'ing. Else you easily get mismatch between package list and actual packages - cooker install assumes existence of contrib.(which it treats as second CD). I do not remember if I can tell "I have no contrib." -andrej
