Yep :-( I left out the "noarch/" part of the path :-( It is correct in the
formal announcement I will send out today, I just mistyped in the
discussion thread in devinfo.

The \ is fine - the shell will continue on the next line, as long as you
don't add *any* extra spaces at the end of the first line or the start of
the second. The problem is the missing noarch/ part of the path.

Yes, that's correct. Or:
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.e-smith.com/pub/e-smith/e-smith-4.0/updates/RPMS/noarch/\
e-smith-release-4.0.1.noarch.rpm
Note: there are no spaces after the noarch/\ of the first line or before
the e- of the second line
