My YUP configuration were using the values from /etc/zmd/deviceid and /etc/zmd/secret which had been working fine. But now Novell wants us to use mirroring credentials so I had to go into the website and extract our mirroring credentials and use them. This might make sense to everybody but I did not realize that mirroring credentials even existed. Not only did that ship sail past me, I was not even on the dock to see it. Anyway, it seems to be was working fine now, until I ran out of space. Errr!
Thanks to everyone that pointed me in the right direction.

Thanks for refreshing my memory. Darn it. :) (I hate when being on call wipes my brain clean.) This brings me back to one of my earlier comments. If you want to download maintenance for SP2, you have to either register an SP2 system, and use the contents of /etc/zmd/deviceid and /etc/zmd/secret from that system as your YUP_ID and YUP_PASS variables, or (as Marcy just reminded me) you have to use the mirroring credentials that you can find on Novell Customer Center. Refer to http://www.zjournal.com/index.cfm?section=article&aid=992 " Setting Up a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Maintenance Repository/Mirror" for details. To refer to a previous question about registering an SP2 system: Being able or unable to access updates from nu.novell.com has nothing to do with downloading the SP2 installation media from download.novell.com. So, it's not a Catch-22 situation at all.
